Besides being on dla mobility component, what other reasons could a vehicle be registered disabled?
are there many other alternative reasons that a vehicle is registered disabled?

To get DVLA approved V5 change to nil road fund licence - you currently have to be getting High rate mobility component that is the only way it happens. When PIP does eventually start coming through, there will be a 50% option for those scoring 8 points and the 100% option will be for those scoring 12 points or more on the mobility element. There are no other reasons why it could be classed this way, so far as I am aware.0

Maybe the vehicle only has three wheels....
Sorry, had to be done, I'll get my coat...Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -

Or a vehicle that was built specifically for the use only by a disabled person.0

Is this actually the case or is that not just an option that the government are considering?
How can you be 'half' disabled?0 -

it isnt half disabled, but there are defrees of disability.
i need someone with me when i go out but have no physical problems when it comes to walking. i wouldnt consider myself to be as disabled as a paraplegic, but i would consider myself to be more disabled than someone that walks with a limp0 -

Well on that basis the question of the level of VED exemption should also be 'by degrees of disability.'
Much the same as it is with an Industrial Injury Disablement benefit award ranging from 20% - 100%?
VED exemption awarded as to the level of disability as determined by the DWP from say 20%, you pay 80% VED, to 100% as it is now when you don't pay any VED at all.0 -

Just found the link: https://www.gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vehicles-and-transport
If you read down the page a bit it tells you what happens to those who only get the standard rate of Mobility under PIP.
50% VED will be available. Hope that helps Portly 1.0
