Hi, I'm after some advise if anyone could help.
My partner is the carer to our son.
My son who is 7 gets high rate care DLA and low rate mobility. He also has a blue badge.
We have just bought a larger car due to needing excess of things for our son on journeys
Could we get help with the car tax with him being a blue badge holder?
We've had mixed reviews everywhere else
Thank you

Unfortunately, your son will need high rate mobility for you to be able to claim free road tax. (VED) A blue badge will make no difference. https://www.disabledmotoring.org/motoring/road-tax-exemption

I did think this, someone has said her daughter gets free road tax with a blue badge for her child.
Thank you 😊

I've no idea how exactly she got that because it's not possible a blue badge doesn't entitle you to free road tax. See Gov.uk link here. https://www.gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vehicles-and-transport

Her child must have a high rate mobility award or Enhanced mobility PIP (if 16 or over)
