    The car that uses my PIP enhanced exemption is my husbands as I’m not allowed to drive but he doesn’t use the car to commute or anything so the car is used for my benefit. If i wasn’t in the chair we would use public transport or walk most of the time as we live on an island.
    Yes indeed. Which was why i said for your purposes meaning the person that's claiming the PIP. The OP asking the question said they claim PIP.

    Our car which we both use is free tax. I asked if we could tax our motor home using the 100% discount and was told yes, so we did.

    It does not answer the original post just pointing out in case anyone else scans the threads at a later date wondering if they can tax a motor home.

    Just check that its taxed on gov.uk and if so do not worry about it, as long as the person taxing the car is entitled to the exemption at the time it's renewed is all what matters, as all the DVLA do is check the NINO with DWP to ensure that said person is entitled.
