    All depends on what you have got the high rate benefit for.
    There are two parts mobilty and care.
    If you have high mobility then you can get your car tax exemption. Also a blue badge. There is also the mobility scheme you might be interested in. All depending on your cicumstances.
    You should be entitled to the warm front grant as well.
    I know there are other things.Will try to add them later when i remember them.
