are tens machine and sticky heat pads considered an aid, as my daughter uses the heat pads on a regular basis to help with her pain when she is going food shopping etc. these can be costly when you add it up. she uses her tens machine at home for her pain. I think these both help with her endometriosis and her mental condition BPD to cope with the pain.
If it helps you to carry out a task then it is classed as an aid, I personally would put them down as an aid but you need to explain why, the why part is always the important bit when completing these forms.
