Sakura 8 Report post Posted November 25 The only info i can find is on this page https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/care-services-equipment-and-care-homes/walking-aids-wheelchairs-and-mobility-scooters/ Get help with costs You might be able to get a grant or help from a charity. https://www.bettermobility.co.uk/charity_funding_options.php Better Mobility has a list of charities that can help pay towards a scooter. The Motability Scheme can help if you want to hire or buy a mobility scooter. It allows some people to use their benefits to pay for one. Other than that I dont know sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alloneword 111 Report post Posted November 26 Are you not on PIP for mobilty Dave this adds a fair amount of money i understand even enough to cover the cost of the hire of a scooter, if you have applied and been turned down let me know via PM and i'll see what i can do for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
