    The reason you were refused was because when you change your vehicle you need a new certificate of entitlement. You can't use the same certificate you previously used. If it's PIP you're claiming then you'll need to contact them to ask them to send you another.

    Hi @ingit21 and welcome to our online community, how are you doing?

    Do you better understand what happened now? You might find it difficult to get through on the PIP helpline as it seems to be very busy right now, but please do keep trying :)

    Just to let you know, I've moved your thread to our Transport and travel category and renamed the thread to help others in a similar spot find it.

    Take care and keep us posted with how you get on.
