Buying a Power Chair in the UK

Perhaps most important of all is choosing the correct supplier. In the UK, wheelchair users on a disability allowance should look for motability registered dealers. These dealers are qualified both to sell items free of VAT – which means that those on the allowance can purchase their power chairs 17 ½ percent cheaper than others.


Motability dealers in the UK can also sell power wheelchairs through the non-profit Motability scheme. The payment is then deducted from the disability allowance.


When choosing the correct power wheelchair you also need to take into account your exact needs. If the primary use is to be in the house, then you should choose an indoor/outdoor model. When choosing the exact model, think about the layout of your house – is it easy to get around, or is there a lot of furniture crammed tightly together? In the latter case, look for an electric wheelchair with a tight turning circle.


While these power chairs do have the capability to travel outside – some come with optional rain covers – if the main purpose is for outdoor mobility then you should consider the outdoor/indoor range. These road-worthy vehicles, which can often cope with rough terrain and most curbs, come equipped with indicators and lights.
