    Hi @Daniel676 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Have you had a social care assessment before? This can be helpful as it may lead to free equipment through the NHS. Have you spoke to your GP or somebody from local authority about this yet?

    Do you claim PIP or DLA? If so depending what rate you may be eligible for the motability scheme which lets you lease a powered wheelchair.

    There are some also grants available for wheelchairs which i hope will be helpful!
