    many people (my husband included) they don't want to accept they need a scooter but once they've got it they wish they'd got one ages ago!

    You are so right but men are so stubborn :D

    We went to Disneyland Paris with me pushing my OH in his wheelchair and it was just so awkward with all the crowds. We are so glad we decided to hire a scooter in Orlando as it made such a difference to our enjoyment.

    Would you be VAT exempt if you bought powered wheelchairs such as this one Here

    Thanks

    If you have a long term illness or disability you shouldn't have to pay VAT on the wheelchair, normally the prices that are quoted are without VAT as the shop would assume that you'd be disabled if you're buying one.
