Hi,

My mum was awarded the high rate for the mobility element for PIP. She does not drive but my dad drives my mum around.
can my dad be exempt from road tax? 

Thanks in advance

He can but the car must only be used for the purpose of your mum. Details here https://www.disabledmotoring.org/motoring/road-tax-exemption

Hi @Aa95 and a warm welcome to our online community, how are you today?

Has Poppy's advice helped clarify things for you? Here's more from the government website regarding vehicle tax exemption for disabled people

You can apply for exemption from paying vehicle tax if you get the:

• higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)

• enhanced rate mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

• enhanced rate mobility component of Adult Disability Payment (ADP)

• higher rate mobility component of Child Disability Payment

• War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement

• Armed Forces Independence Payment

The vehicle must be registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name.
It must only be used for the disabled person’s personal needs. It cannot be used by the nominated driver for their own personal use.
You can only have one vehicle tax exemption at any one time.:

I've amended the title of your thread to help others spot it more easily. And, if you have any other questions please ask away

Take care and I look forward to speaking again soon.
