We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Exempt people on Attendance Allowance from vehicle tax
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.
More details
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.
