Vehicle tax 50% reduction (disability)

EnglandWalesScotlandNorthern Ireland

A 50% vehicle tax reduction on one vehicle if you get standard-rate PIP or ADP mobility.

What you get

A 50% reduction in vehicle tax on one vehicle, if you qualify. The vehicle must be registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name.

Who can get it

You can get the reduction if you get the PIP standard rate mobility component or the Adult Disability Payment standard rate mobility component. You cannot get this reduction for the DLA lower rate mobility component.

How to apply

Send the documents listed on GOV.UK to DVLA Swansea, including evidence of your PIP or ADP mobility rate and dates, the V5C, a V10 form, MOT evidence if needed, and payment for 50% of the full rate. First-time exemption claims are different — this reduction route is a postal application.
