not sure if this is the right thread, we have just bought a second hand car. we need it taxed but its classed as disabled. we know we have to go to the post office to do it, but we normally pay monthly so do we just pay one month, can we drive the car straight away as we really need the car
any ideas how this works as we have never come across this before

thanks in advance

    Go to the post office, they will set up a DD scheme for you. Simple.

    I thought that would only be possible after the V5 has been amended by the DVLA

    No, the PO will do the paperwork to amend taxation class and set up DD in one transaction. I've done it twice now, once on a Jeep in 2015 and on my current car in early 2017.
