It's not the PIP award you need. In with the decision letter is a separate certificate that states your entitlement to the free road tax, it's this you need and not the PIP award.You're only entitled to the free road tax if you have Enhanced mobility. If you have standard mobility then you're only entitled to the 50% reduction.

It's called the entitlement certificate. See link.

This is true hubby only got the standard and is still entitled to the 50% reduction but there doesn't seem to be a form one can send off for to get this and no question to answer on any other one or the link above to say you have the standard rate.

See link on how to claim this.

I have spoken to a senior customer service advisor at the DWP who told me that the certificate of entitlement is only issued to people awarded the enhanced rate of mobility, it enables them to claim 100% refund of their vehicle road tax, people who are awarded the standard rate of mobility are entitled to 50% refund of their vehicle road tax. To differentiate between the two groups the standard rate mobility recipients are issued a statement of entitlement which enables them to claim 50% refund of their vehicle road tax.

This is an old thread from over 3 years that someone's commented on today. I would assume that after 3 years the OP has sorted the issue.

I increasingly think this sort of thing makes a very strong case for making the date of posts much more obvious. All that space on forum pages and they seem scared to use it.
