I didn't mention that the NHS wouldn't give me an electric one, only an attendant one because of my sleep apnoea, something to do with public liability, just told me I could get myself one but they couldn't supply one! I just put I had been assessed and given an attendant wheelchair, will this make a difference?

Ask the NHS asssors for a copy of their reasons why a self proppelled Wheelchair is not suitable, the HCP, & DM will have difficulty in arguing agaoinst that decision if you need to go to appeal.

Thanks Mags
