If you have Enhanced mobility ADP then you can claim free road tax. (VED) You will need to take all your documents as well as the certificate of entitlement to your local post office. https://www.gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vehicles-and-transport

If you're claiming standard mobility then you can claikm 50% reduction. You will need to send all your documents to DVLA, including payment for half the road tax.

The vehicle must only be used for your purpose.

Thank you, can you apply for the road tax to be back dated ? i already paid 12 months in advance valid up until end of june.

I don't think they back date it in that way.

It is possible you could cancel your current road tax, receive a refund, and then reapply for it under the conditions of your disability discount.

Just my experience, not sure if true!
