Hi @nannysquiggle.  I have first-hand experience of a life insurance company which has funds set aside to provide for long-term customers who may need help such as you need. I was so lucky and delighted to have a brand new scooter of my choice [within a budget] delivered to my door in a matter of days.    I don't want to name the company online but you should maybe check out any you have dealings with.

Best wishes.

Hi @nannysquiggle
It’s worth checking our grants search for organisations that may fund wheelchairs. Each organisation has its own rules about:

• what they fund
• the size of individual grants
• eligibility (including means testing)
• the assessment and supply process 

Some will let you tell them what you need and get it yourself. Others will ask you to go to a specific supplier for an assessment.

@nannysquiggle....not sure if I would be allowed to post this link but this is what I meant.  There may very well be others out there.
