you m-i-l would have had the forms which said what we are saying. As ethel says, it dosent mean a different car, or bus travel but just that he should have been paying tax. If you look at the link you posted
But the car must:
*only be used for your benefit (for example shopping or getting prescriptions)
i think that makes it pretty clear!

last word for now as i have to go out
but it would mean 2 cars as you can only have one tax on one car and as it would be legal for the disabled tax most of the time you would need another car to be legal any other time

We are just telling you the law,that is just the way it is.Whether any of us think its a daft law is beside the point.

it wouldnt mean two cars, it would just mean you couldnt take advantage of the free road tax that is soley for disabled people - your father in law presumably wasnt entitled in his own right so there it is. It would mean that the car would have to be taxed, because for 50%, or 40% or 5% of the time its not being used by the disabled person, thats all

zonerc - each year when the disabled tax comes up for renewal, a declaration has to be signed stating that the car will be used solely by or on behalf of the disabled person.

If that is not the case, then ordinary tax should be paid. It really is that simple.
