Claiming VRT on a vehicle for a cancer patient

[shootingstar]

There are grants for a person with a physical disability to be able to claim VRT and road tax and a limited diesel allowance if you or your passenger are disabled.

I was told this is also the case if you have a family member with incurable or terminal cancer? I am currently not the primary carer, the primary carer now has cancer too so i`ll be doing hospitals runs for both patients and I live a good distance from them both :-(

Can anyone shed some light on this please?

From the revenue's website;

You may get some financial assistance from the Irish Cancer Society.

Your local Dept. of Social Protection welfare officer may assist you with travel costs if you/person is on one of their payments.
