Pip mobility car tax rebate

I didn’t need to pay tax on my previous car but do on my new(ish) car.  I paid full price tax at the dealership, so want to claim my 50% discount.  There is lots out there about how to pay for the tax but not a lot on how to claim a rebate, the DVLA chatbot is absolutely useless.  Advice would be great fully received.

    I wrote to the DVLA because I didn't understand how to reclaim my car tax; I just put all my questions in a letter and, although it took a couple of weeks, they did reply in detail about what I needed to do. Hope this helps. Quite often I write to people in these places when I can't work out what I'm meant to be doing! 😊

    This website explains what you need to send to DVLA  .

    Send it with a. Letter explaining you are claiming a refund of  50% of the tax already paid. You will not need to send any payment since the full amount has already been paid.
