The only way to claim this is to send all your documents to DVLA. See link. https://www.gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vehicles-and-transport

Vehicle tax reduction

Eligibility

You can get a 50% reduction in vehicle tax if you get the:

• PIP standard rate mobility component
• ADP standard rate mobility component

The vehicle should be registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name.

You cannot get a reduction for getting the DLA lower rate mobility component.

How to claim

You must include the following with your application:

• a letter or statement from the Department for Work and Pensions that shows your PIP rate and the dates you’re getting it - if you’re getting PIP
• an ADP decision letter from Social Security Scotland that shows your mobility component rate and the dates you’re getting it - if you’re getting ADP
• the vehicle log book (V5C)
• a V10 form
• evidence of a current MOT, if you need one - for example, a copy of your vehicle’s MOT history or your MOT certificate, if you have one
• an original goods vehicle testing (GVT) certificate, if you need one
• a cheque or payable order (made out to ‘DVLA, Swansea’) for 50% of the full rate of car tax for the vehicle
• an insurance certificate or cover note (if you live in Northern Ireland)
