Welcome to the community @pat76 It's great to have you on-board.

You might find this page on VAT exemptions on the gov.uk website helpful, as it outlines who, and what items, can be VAT-exempt. 

Perhaps you could give that a read, and then let us know whether you have any further questions? 

I hope that getting an electric wheelchair gives you some more independence! I also hope that your husband's back pain reduces soon
