Hi and welcome to the community
Does your partner get enhanced mobility pip if so you can get scooters through motability scheme
Another option is leasing one have a look at red Cross buf lots of other companies do this too
Or buy one second hand often advertise on selling sites -
Hi @challiss1 - & welcome to the community. Another possible option is to buy a scooter using finance, which can be cheaper than getting one through the Motability scheme. Please see this thread:

I just agreed to motability for a scooter the model I want is over 4000 so I think 39 a week is a fare price got to wait might be earlier but looking like Nov for it can't wait
