Hi guys had my OT out again as my new pride scooter I am having problems getting it through the front door it's damaging my arms on the scooter I had this problem before the insurance will only keep paying out so far before they tell me no I have to pay to replace arms  because it's the arms where the door so narrow it gets caught on them  I can't change my equipment or they'll strike me off the mobility and then I won't have anything to use 😔 so a bit worried to be honest as I have charge my equipment with a mobility scheme twice now and you're only allowed to do it three times and they strike you off and you're not allowed to get anymore equipment from them

    Hi @Ashvinney I can understand why not being on the Motability scheme is a worry, but at the moment nothing has changed and you've still got your pride scooter.

    Hopefully you can speak with your OT further and find a workable solution, I'm sure you've said they talked about widening the doorways? Is that a possibility?

    Hey @Ashvinney, 

    I can understand why you might be worrying with regards to your situation, but remember, you have the support of your OT and they should be able to help you with your concerns. Have you discussed your current situation with the OT? If so, what have they recommended?
