This sort of thing annoys non disabled people

In the past 6 years or so Motability changed from requiring you to get your tax disc from the Post Office (the ones with 00.00 and disabled on them) to managing the tax disc as a fleet. These days Motability cars all have a 'fleet' tax disc.

Dad had the last 2 motability cars around 2 and 5 years ago and as stated, neither had fleet discs - odd.

Does a lifetime award still count for anything?

No, I'm afraid not.

Your wrong krisskross, the motability car has a fleet tax disc

They are so easy to spot.

He is not wrong. The disc my relative receive this week has disabled on it, nothing at all about fleet.

I find it hard to believe that people go peering at their neighbours' cars to check on whether they have a disabled tax disc. Surely there are more interesting pastimes?

Sadly some people really are that sad and bitter!

My tax disc says Disabled because I own the car and everyone who owns the car/has nominated the car will have the same on their tax disc.

I have only had one motability car and it went back last year and every tax disc it had had Fleet on the disc and the disc renewal came directly from motability via the post, every motability car's tax disc will say fleet and they will get the renewed tax disc thorugh the post.

My understanding is its nothing to do with Motability .. .. its a HMRC liabilty / DLA404 exemption issue.

At any post office [in person] - or - your national / local DVLA [in person] whether you visit or use the postal system clearly says disabled, because its your own individual property, its owned by you. The disk is issued as a result of your DLA 404 exemption certificate which you must make available to them.

A Motability disk says fleet because its not owned by you.

If however you own your vehicle and sell that vehicle on .. .. the tax disk is non-transferable to the new owner and should be handed in. It is however transferable by you to your newly owned exempt private vehicle.

NOTE1 : Before the abstruse jump in the DLAHRM / DLA404 accounts for 99.9% and yes there are a very few exemptions to this.

NOTE2 : The first disk on a vehicle windscreen delivered by Motability will say DISABLED .. the subsequent two disks [through the post] in any three year cycle will say FLEET

Errrr.... I wasn't checking. Our cars park next to each other in the street and I jsut happened to notice. I don't think it is a motability car.

So anyone with a lifetime award can just forget they ever had one, then?

There is no such thing as a lifetime award.
'indefinite' means that.
It means that there is no predetermined end to your award.
Your condition can be redetermined at any time.

I'm aware of that. I was replying to someone who said that there should be lifetime awards.
