Hi @SteveGenac and a warm welcome to our community, how are you today?

As a Northerner, you'll have to excuse my lack of insight but just to clarify - you're referring to the Ultra Low Emission Zone charge (ULEZ) which has this guidance for disabled people's discounts and exemption:

Vehicles for disabled people

• Keepers of vehicles registered with a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicles' tax class will benefit from a grace period after the ULEZ starts. They'll be exempt from the ULEZ charge until 26 October 2025 as long as their vehicle doesn't change tax class. (Vehicles operated by or on behalf of TfL will not benefit from this grace period.) Read the eligibility criteria for the disabled tax class exemption on Gov.uk

• If your UK-registered vehicle is in this category, you don't need to register with us to get the exemption. If your 'disabled' vehicle is registered outside the UK, you are also exempt from ULEZ during the grace period, but will need to register with us.

• Blue Badge holders need to pay the charge unless their vehicle meets the ULEZ emission standards or is registered with the DVLA with a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicle' tax class

• From 27 October 2025 vehicles with 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicles' tax class that do not meet the ULEZ emission standards will be liable for the daily ULEZ charge

If so, I can see that AA is not listed on the government's vehicle tax exemption list and understand your question - have you double checked you aren't in receipt of other qualifying benefits?

One option is asking Transport for London via their online chat on Facebook or Twitter, or by calling (charges apply): 0343 222 2222 / Textphone 0207 649 9123.  However, our members might be able to offer their wisdom too.

I hope you're keeping well.  Have a great Thursday and we'll try and get to the bottom of this for you

Unfortunately there's not really any other suggestions.For the disabled exemption your car need to be registered as disabled with DVLA and this requires a PIP mobility or high rate DLA mobiliuty award.
