How do I go about getting my car tax refund?

It will depend on what the refund is for. There's some information here. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-refund

I have a car already, and was given the higher rate of PIP ie Mobility scheme, and was looking on the GOV site and no where is there a clear and concise way on how to claim for a refund going back to April of this year....

For the mobility scheme your vehicle doesn’t need to be taxed by you because  all this will be dealt with beforeyou collect the car.
If this isn’t what you mean then if you have been awarded Enhanced mobility PIP then you need to take all your documents, including your certificate of entitlement to your local post office and they will sort that for you. Your V5C will need to sent to DVLA for the tax class to be changed to disabled. Once this is done you will be refunded anything that’s owed. 

Full details how to do this is here https://www.disabledmotoring.org/motoring/road-tax-exemption
Do be aware that when claiming the free road tax the car must only be used for your purpose.

I think we are getting our wires crossed here
I already have a car, and apparently am entitled to a refund dating back to when I was awarded PIP and Mobilty, which was back in April of this year, so my question is, how and where do I go about claiming this, as its not that apparent on the GOV website.... seems to be that they go all around around the houses, and there does not give a definitive link to male this claim...hope that made sence 
TIA

The reason for that is because you mentioned motability scheme in your 2nd comment, which confused the situation. Which is why is said..

As advised, if you have Enhanced mobility award then you will need to go to your local post office with all your documents, including the certificate of entitlement. You can't have a refund until your log book taxation class is changed to disabled. See link above.

If you have standard mobility PIP then this will allow you 50% reduction and then you need to send all your documents to DVLA. Details how to do this are here. https://www.disabledmotoring.org/motoring/road-tax-50-reduction
