Getting support for higher mileage
We know that every customer's circumstances are different.
The standard mileage allowance gives most customers enough miles for everyday journeys. But some people need to travel much further for healthcare, education or employment.
We've introduced extra support for customers with the highest travel needs. It helps make sure they get the support they need, while helping keep the Scheme sustainable for everyone.
If you need to travel much more than your standard mileage allowance because of these journeys, you may be able to get help with the cost of your extra miles.
If you receive your allowance from Social Security Scotland
The new Scheme terms now apply to customers who get their allowance from Social Security Scotland.
