How to get a wheelchair – UK

The British government has a really good page about how to get a wheelchair on their website.

They describe the vouchers scheme whereby people can be assisted with the cost of buying or hiring wheelchairs. They also list other ways of obtaining a wheelchair such as via voluntary organisations and charities.

So, if you need a wheelchair or mobility scooter that page is well worth a look.

By the way, VAT relief (‘zero-rating’) on products and services for disabled people includes wheelchairs and scooters.
