To qualify for that, you don't just pop to your G.P., and get them to write a note, after telling them you can't walk.
She would have had to fill in a detailed 40 page questionaire, and then subit it.
70% of first time claims aren't approved, but you are allowed to appeal.
On appeal you are examined by an independent medical board, which she will have had to convince that what she stated on the application, about her physical disability was true.
She must have been found to be severely disabled, and awarded the higher level of mobility benefit, in order to qualify for her having the car.
Forget running a pub. Tell her to consider the stage.
After telling her she's a fraudster.
Who's not only cheated the tax payer, but every genuine person who struggle to get the benefits they are by rights entitled to.
