PIP and Car Tax

nh_user_980469 · September 28, 2016, 4:27pm

Hi,

In April of this year I was awarded PIP, including the Higher rate mobility component. On July 2nd, I bought a second hand car and taxed it for 6 months. Apparently, I didn't have to pay for this car tax, so I was wondering if it's possible to claim this back, retrospectively?

Thanks :-)

I think you can have you changed the v5 to disabled .you can clain for a refund of any money paid from the date the v5 was changed

Any complete months left will be repaid

Hi,

Yes but if I were you i'd sort this tomorrow you should be able to get some money back from 1st Oct onwards.

With dla you need the serial number on your certificate of entitlement. Dvla online is very quick and the system checks your mot and insurance electronically. You can then tax the car under disabled class in the drop down menu. I would check first by ringing dvla or main post office to ask how you change the tax as it is the end of the month.

Hope that helps.
