In order to move your mailbox you must FIRST, get authorization from your local post office to do so. Once you have authorization the post office will instruct you on where & when it can be moved, to accommodate both you & your carrier.
To request door delivery, you need to submit PS Form 1528, Request For Exception To Current/Proposed Delivery Mode Due To Physical Hardship and the required documentation, including a statement from a doctor. The doctor's statement should indicate you are unable to collect your mail from a curb or centralized mailbox.
Assuming your curbside mailbox is not in compliance, the USPS can require you to relocate the mailbox to comply with the standard regulations in order to receive mail.
Make a quick call or visit your local post office. They'll be able to give you advice on the best location and they may even give you approval for the relocation. Consider weather exposure. When relocating your mailbox, consider the effects of weather conditions, like snow plows burying it in winter.

Dear Sir: I request hardship delivery of my mail at . The mail is currently delivered to a cluster box which I believe is not ADA compliant. I use a wheelchair and am not able to get to the current cluster mail box from either my wheelchair or the drivers seat of my van.
