    Hi Richie, as I said I've probably remembered it incorrectly, but I think I started off with the car details, reference on the V11, dob etc etc) but was stumped by the DLA reference number, and thrown back a couple of times, but the system finally accepted my NI number for this field since I did not have a ref number on my HR DLA confirming letter. My grey cells may not be what they were though! :o
    Cheers.

    - you can not sell, what you do not own, as 'only_mee' said return it to the DVLA
    - you don't need a replacement VED, just transfer your own VED to your new ride
    - and for only one car at a time in an appropriate tax class remember ?
    - the new owner caught using the VED exemption would be prosecuted
    - if it was decided you were complicit in the sale of a VED you would be prosecuted

    Incorrect. You cannot transfer your existing VED to your new vehicle. If you change your vehicle you will need a new VED. Ring DWP/DLA and they will be happy to send you a new one :p

    You know very well what I said a 404 or a CofE is the exemption certificate that entitles people to an exempt tax disk. You are again putting the wrong interpenetration on what I said.

    You've stated wrong and stupidly bad advice throughout this thread and continue to resurrect old months old dormant threads in order to continue some kind of sad perverse vendetta. Read what I wrote, and please stop making a fool of yourself. You claim somewhere to work for the DVLA as an advisor - your mysterious friend Whity1 claims to work for the DLA [whoever the DLA are ?] - you should be ashamed of yourself. Stop mis-advising and frightening the disabled !

    I said "just transfer your own VED to your new ride" everyone else took it the correct way :

    - go~to wherever
    - with however many months left on the disk
    - they will transfer your entitlement to your new ride
    - with a full 12 months tax disk

    Enter the parallel first time poster DLA employee Whity1 into the thread now I suppose.

    Anyone else reading this if you do need to replace a 'full of stamps' old DLA404 ring the Disability Benefits Unit on 0845 712 3456 number regardless of an old DLA404 and get a nice new 2013 up to date 'vehicle exemption document' [CofE] registration that will last forever - or as long as you have an entitlement.
    This is getting ridiculous now. I have my views and you have your own. I will never ever back up people who choose not to work.

    Call me immature, a whinger, whatever you want. You know, and I know, that there are far too many workshy scroungers in this country.....and something needs to be done about it. Me, and people like me, are fed up of working to support those who simply don't want to work.
    Oh go away......your comment is not even worth retorting to!
    How bl**dy dare people take this attitude
    The disability argument is also nothing but an excuse in all but the small percentage of cases. So many people seem to think they can't work because they have epilepsy, asthma or diabetes (to name but a few conditions).....I have friends with all of these illnesses and all of them work

    - nice person and clearly hates all benefit recipients - yet claims to be disabled

    This forum seems to be inhabited by people of playground age , that goes for the person who is wrong and the person who is determined to prove them wrong, anybody care to present some facts to back up their point rather than opinions ?

    Ahhhh, you try, but the mods remove your posts or signature that explains your experience or qualification!!!

    Richie dear.....can you not read? At no stage have I stated I work for DVLA. You clearly have a lot of time on your hands so utilise some of it to get your facts right.

    As for Whity1....I do believe they stated they worked for DLA (Disability Living Allowance).....

    How dare you assume that I "hate all benefit recipients". This is certainly not the case. As you have copied and pasted above, I simply will not back up people who choose not to work.

    If I may say so, you sound a very bitter individual who takes exception to almost anything others post, even going to the trouble of reporting me to the mods for allegedly "creating a fake account".

    I bid you farewell and wish you good luck. I simply do not have the time or patience for people with such limited intelligence.

    Definitely only 1 tax disc for any person in receipt of HR mobility component.

    The smaller car won't have a huge amount of tax due anyway, so I'd look at registering the estate car as the one for the free tax disc. The small one may even be road tax exempt depending on type/pollution output, etc.

    Remember what others said previously though, about the use of the car being for the disabled person only.

    If the disabled person uses their HR mobility to get a Motability car, then Motability get the tax disc each time and the disabled person doesn't need to worry about it.

    - the quickest way is to do it in your local / regional DVLA - everyone has one
    - it takes minutes and is done for you by the staff who communicate real time with the DVLA computer

    Picture this ......

    - you have two packets full of papers, one for the old car and one for the new car
    - and the tax disk from your windscreen .. .. which they will confiscate
    - you prove test cert / insurance / VED exemption, and they will give you a new tax disk on the spot for the full 12 months
    - they will also confiscate the old car log book and the your new car log book
    - the old car log book will be reissued in the post as a normal [non-VED] log book
    - the new car log book will be reissued in the post as a VED 'disabled' log book

    That whole process takes less than 5 minutes and is painless, they do thousands every week, no post, no waiting, no documents going missing, no hassle and usually a Blue Badge space if you are patient.


    So you saying its best to do this at my local DVLA. However when I sell the doesn't the buyer keep the logbook for that car? Do I have to take the buyer with me to the DVLA office and get it all sorted there? How does it work?
