   Changes to vehicle tax for disabled people
From Monday 24 May 2010, rather than having to apply you will automatically be sent a Certificate of Entitlement. You can then use this to get a free vehicle tax disc.
At the moment you need to apply for a Certificate of Entitlement to get a free vehicle tax disc. However, from Monday 24 May 2010 you will automatically be sent a Certificate of Entitlement when you are awarded the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance. You can then use this certificate to get a free vehicle tax disc. Once you have done this the first time, the Disability Living Allowance Unit will then automatically send you a Certificate of Entitlement every year to get your free vehicle tax disc. If you are still using the DLA404 certificate to get your free vehicle tax disc you can continue to use this. However, when your DLA404 certificate is full you will need to contact the Department for Work and Pensions to get a new Certificate of Entitlement. For more information on vehicle tax for disabled people, and how to get a free vehicle tax disc, follow the links below. Source: Direct.gov.uk
