DVLA PIP 50% Reduction Car Tax Help Renewal

Justiceforme

Hi can anyone advise as I cant through to DLVA or Post Office at present.  Had notice to tax car, however because I'm now on Standard Rate PIP this changes tax to a 50% reduction rather than free.  If anyone can help please post on here

Many thanks

You have to send all your documents to DVLA to claim the 50% reduction. See link for confirmation. https://www.disabledmotoring.org/motoring/road-tax-50-reduction

Think it needs someone contacting DVLA for the official process in the light of this https://www.gov.uk/guidance/dvla-coronavirus-covid-19-update   

Perhaps via Twitter or similar, if a user of such?

Let us know how it goes, though.

I think I found a reply to pay the full VED payment now and claim a refund of 50% "in the future" to someone who had a renewal notice and eligibility for the discount ... 
But that's different to your case as the V5 for the vehicle has Disabled Class and that need removal from the V5 - which can be done at a suitable Post Office https://www.gov.uk/change-vehicle-tax-class/tax-due-to-run-out-or-changing-if-vehicle-is-exempt  but not the 50% off bit?  <grrr>  So you'd have to pay the full rate and attempt to claim back later once things return to a more normal state.
