Frequently Asked Questions
Are daily living aids VAT exempt?
Yes, most daily living aids are VAT exempt if you have a chronic illness or disability. This applies to products designed for disabled people. You’ll need to sign a simple declaration confirming your eligibility.
Can I try products before buying?
Yes, visit our Diss showroom to see and try our range of daily living aids. Our staff can demonstrate products and help you find the right solutions for your specific needs. We understand that everyone’s requirements are different.
Do you offer home assessments for daily living aids?
While we primarily offer home assessments for larger equipment like stairlifts and adjustable beds, our showroom staff can advise on daily living aids based on a discussion of your needs. For complex requirements, we can arrange a home visit.
Are these products suitable as gifts?
Many daily living aids make thoughtful, practical gifts for elderly relatives or friends with mobility issues. Kitchen aids, reaching tools, and comfort items are popular choices. Our staff can help you choose appropriate products.
Can I get help from the NHS or social services?
Some daily living aids may be available through the NHS or social services following an occupational therapy assessment. However, many people prefer to purchase their own equipment for immediate access and wider choice. Our prices are competitive with or better than online retailers.
Do you stock products for arthritis?
