Hi, my father has received a certificate entitling him to an exemption from paying road tax via a recent claim for Disability Living Allowance. DOes anybody know if he can use this to claim a part refund on the remaining four months on the current tax disc?
any help would be appreciated.

You fill in a VED tax refund form from the post office and post the tax disc back to DVLA.0

No, your dad gets a zero rated tax disc for the car that is only used for his benefit and nothing else.0 -
Use new DLA entitlement form to get free tax disc from post office. You need to take insurance, MOT, V5c and entitlement with you. You can only do this in person at the post office that can do discs. Once you have that, then you can insert that in your fathers car. The V5c has to go off to DVLA to be re classifed as a disabled car. Then take old tax disc and use the refund form to get the 4 months taxation back. Only whole months can be claimed so the sooner you can get that off to DVLA the better. May take a few weeks to come back. I did mine back in March 2012, when I got awarded my HRM. Thus saving me £215 a year and got £17.91 back (1 month). He should also be entitled to a blue badge automatically now as well, if he has not got one at the moment. Also worth having.0
