Vehicle tax exemption (disability)
A full vehicle tax exemption on one vehicle used for a disabled person’s personal needs, if you get a qualifying higher mobility award.
What you get
Exemption from vehicle tax on one vehicle at a time, if you qualify. The vehicle must be registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name, and used for the disabled person’s personal needs — not for the nominated driver’s own personal use.
Who can get it
You can apply if you get the higher rate mobility component of DLA; the enhanced rate mobility component of PIP or Adult Disability Payment; Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance (the official GOV.UK list names this payment); the higher rate mobility component of Child Disability Payment; War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement; or Armed Forces Independence Payment.
How to apply
Claim the exemption when you apply for vehicle tax. The first time you claim for a vehicle, and every time you change vehicle, you have to do this at a Post Office that deals with vehicle tax.
