Disabled Car Tax

billesniper

Hi. My car has a Disabled car tax disc so I do not have to pay anything, because I get DLA at the higher rate on mobility and care, can anyone tell me what happens when I reach 65 as DLA stops and you switch to carers allowance do you still get the car tax free or do you have to start paying for your it?. Thanks in advance.

You will still get it. It stays the same.

Hello,

Here is a useful link that will answer your question, but basically if you have the high rate mobility before you were 65, it will continue, if you still meet the criteria for it.

Here's the link.

If you get DLA and your condition remains the same you will receive it for life.The 65 limit means if you are not on it already you cant claim after 65,you can claim attendance allowance though.

Surely - prohibiting claims after the age of 65 is age discriminaton anf hence illegal?

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it the same benefit just under a different name!
