Exempt people on Attendance Allowance from vehicle tax

Petition Details

Disabled people are exempt from vehicle tax if they receive Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment, but not if they receive Attendance Allowance (for those over retirement age). Treat all disabled people equally, and exempt people on Attendance Allowance from vehicle tax.

Additional Information

The system needs to be fairer and not ageist. The Government discriminating against the elderly. The vast majority of affordable adapted mobility cars are in a higher tax bracket, this is due to the size of vehicle and subsequent engine size. Many elderly disabled people simply don't have the choice to have a smaller care. I want to Government to ensure that people on Attendance Allowance are exempted from vehicle tax, the same as it is for those who receive other disability benefits.
