Pip extras

Hi I've just been awarded enchanced rate pip. I've been told I'm entitled to my car tax free. Is there anything else I'm entitled to.

Remember when you get free Road tax your car is classed as a disabled vehicle. And is thus meant for the sole use and benefit of the claiment. So if your car is low tax band it may be wise to not take up free road tax if others use your car.

That will depend if you're claiming daily living or mobility, for free road tax then you need Enhanced mobility.

If it's mobility and you scored the points in moving around part then you're automatically entitled to a blue badge. If you scored the points in following and planning a journey then you'll need to see the criteria of your local council because Enhanced mobility for following and planning a journey doesn't automatically entitle you to a BB.

If it's daily living then you won't automatically be entitled to the BB and there's no free road tax.

You say you were awarded Enhanced PIP but was this for daily living or mobility? You haven't said which one you were awarded.

Enhanced mobility also means you can apply for a free bus pass

If you scored the points in the moving around part yes it does. If you scored the points in following an planning a journey, it depends on the criteria of a local council. It doesn't automatically qualify you.
