@dignifieddoll as you've just moved over to PIP? To satisfy getting the above ie Blue Badge. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and scored 8 points or more in the ‘moving around’ area of your assessment - check your decision letter if you’re not sure, otherwise you will have to apply a your council for a new one.
Bt if you recieve this you will be ok
receive 8 points or more under the ‘moving around’ activity of the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
2nd answer to your question. Re car tax.
If you get high rate mobility you will qualify for full tax exemption otherwise you will need to satisfy this here for 50% discount.
To claim the 50% reduction the vehicle must be :
Registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name.
It must be only be used for the disabled person’s personal needs. That means the vehicle can’t be used by the nominated driver for their own personal use.
You can only have one vehicle tax exemption or reduction at any one time.
You can apply for the 50% reduction if you get the:
Thank you as i did say i now been awarded the standard rate for mobility and daily living needs .so i should ring the DWP and enquire about the 50%reduction yes ?

@dignifieddoll just follow the information here to get the 50% Tax discount.

Don’t include a copy of your PIP adjudication with your application.
If you’ve just bought the vehicle and it’s not registered in your name yet, you’ll need to download and complete a V62 form and include the V5C/2 new keeper supplement with your application.
Vehicles that receive the 50% reduction are in the standard taxation class for that vehicle. They will not be in the Disabled tax class like vehicles that receive the 100% exemption.
There's 2 descriptors for mobility part of PIP, following and planning a journey and moving around. You need to check your award because scoring the points in following and planning a journey doesn't qualify you automatically for the blue badge, only the moving around part will.

Thank you for that info although i dont drive my husband does i couldnt understand why i would need to plan a route or follow a journey i get anxious if i dont know a familiar route or where im going .
If you're the disabled person then the car you're taxing with the 50% discount can only be used for your purposes. Your husband will not be able to use it for his purposes, this includes disabled tax when it's 100% free. See link for confirmation.
