Hi guys, advice required re PWB for new powerchair. (I'm guessing I am about to touch a nerve with many people)

I've spent 3 years being assessed and trying to find the right seating system & powerchair. I know I've been treated abysmally at a time when a diagnosis of cancer has been at the forefront of my thoughts/efforts. I am no further forward with seating. They have given me a new w/c, but it is not much of an improvement on what I had.

I've been offered £2,200 to purchase a new w/c outright. The chair I am sitting in, provided by the NHS is £6,750.00. I have asked for clarification on the figures - they are correct. I have been offered £1,400 toward seating, but I know this might not touch the surface.

Advice………………….
