Bathing made easy again
MOBILITY BATHING
I understand that getting into or out of an ordinary bath or shower can become an uphill battle for the elderly or less physically able but why struggle when an easy to access walk in baths and showers can make bathing both independent and enjoyable again?
VAT Relief for People who are Chronically Sick or Disabled
Do you qualify for VAT-free goods?
You'll only be able to have eligible goods VAT free if you’re chronically sick or disabled and the goods are for your personal or domestic use. You don't need to be registered disabled or eligible for any other benefit to qualify for VAT-free goods.
What HMRC mean by 'chronically sick or disabled'?
For VAT purposes, you’re chronically sick or disabled if you have:
● A physical or mental impairment which has a long term and substantial adverse effect upon your ability to carry out everyday activities
● A condition which the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness (that’s a long term health condition)
For VAT purposes, the term 'chronically sick or disabled' doesn’t include a person who’s only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, for example with a broken limb or someone who’s elderly but isn’t chronically sick or disabled.
You don't need HMRC’s permission to declare that you’re disabled or chronically sick. If you're not sure whether your condition means you’re chronically sick or disabled you may wish to consult your doctor or other medical adviser.
You can find out more by telephoning the VAT Disabled Reliefs Helpline Telephone: 0300 123 1073.
HMRC staff cannot advise whether or not an individual is chronically sick or disabled.

An easy access shower is an ideal choice for a less mobile person. For people who prefer to shower the decision is an easy one to make. However, many people who prefer a bath find the decision to install a shower a difficult one to make because it is not what they are used to and, of course, once installed it will be a permanent addition to the home.
