One in seven new cars sold in the U.K. is paid for through a disability benefit, per the WSJ.
The scheme lets people swap part of their disability payments for a brand-new car every three years.
Among those who got new cars last year, by primary medical condition, according to government figures:
Tennis elbow: 40
Wheat intolerance: 50
Dyslexia: 320
The program now has about 815,000 customers, up roughly 200,000 in two years.
