But it only applies if the veichle has special addaptions for a disabled persons use.

 These include things like aids to assist the disabled person in getting in and out of the MH, fitted ramps or door lifts/grab rails, a device for lifting and storing a mobility scooter or wheelchair, or an adapted bathroom to suit the disabled persons needs, or indeed adaptions to the drivers controls if needed to enable the disabled person to drive it.

Im not bang up to date with the legislation, but it used to be only available to people who could not travel any considerable distance without suffering pain and discomfort or other worsening of their condition if they were confined to sitting in an upright position for any great length of time. I do know of a Lady who had a motorhome on the Motorbility scheme due to her suffering from osteoporosis, and she had it adapted with a special reclined seat with pressure relief mattress to enable her to travel in comfort without the risk of any damage to her bones or pressure sores.
