Disabled Road Tax, Help needed, please.

64 Posts

I am trading my car for another nearly new used one and am set to complete the deal next week with a car supermarket..
My current car is classed as 'Disabled' for road tax. (My insurance for this vehicle expires the following day, so don't want to postpone the deal).
Four days ago I requested a replacement Certificate of Entitlement to DLA/PIP from DWP and I await it's arrival.
Please can someone tell me that if I don't receive the replacement Certificate before I complete the deal on the new car, (and pay for a years Road Tax), can I claim a refund retrospectively on that payment once I receive the Certificate?
Would I do this through the PO or is there a specific form I need to fill in for the DVLA?
Thanks for any help.

I'm referring solely to the Road Tax and DVLA.
Road Tax is RFL (or it used to be !)
V10 Tax form from P.O.
MOTEXCEMPTION -DWP STATEMENT-e.g. Pip -seems your waiting on this arriving.
another option is pay 100% full cost 12 months online.
SEnd a letter to DVLA and request they refund 50% -they send a cheque.
dvla swansea SA99 1DZ
though they will Need the mentioned docs.
I received the Certificate of Entitlement for PIP in todays post!
I get the enhanced rate for mobility. I've let the dealers know and have emailed a copy of my CofE to them, so they can do the necessary in changing the V5 Taxation Class and have the free vehicle tax sorted out, prior to me collecting the vehicle. Although, they have put the collection back by a day to accommodate this. Hoping it doesn't get put back any further as my current car's insurance runs out now on that day.
