London Congestion Charge exemption automatic for Motability cars?

[clumsymum]

As a Blue badge holder, I applied for exemption 2 weeks ago, we go to london beginning of next week. The application costs £10.

Anyway, rang today to find out why I hadn't received any reply. Apparently they didn't like my photocopy of the blue badge, and it has taken them 10 working days to let me know (letter went out today).

However, apparently, my vehicle is already on an exemptions list, as I get it on the motability scheme.

Now I haven't seen anything in any paperwork, from either transport for london nor from Motability that says this is the case. If it is, then I've just wasted £10 on an application I don't need to make.

Anyone else know this?

My dh applied for his exemption, as a blue badge holder, as he doesn't have a motability car so I'm afraid I can't answer your question.

If you don't get any joy here, you could post on special needs thread. Or could you contact motability?

I think it's automatic - I've just got my second motability car and they already have me on the list - call the normal congestion charge number and tell them the situation
