Electric Wheelchair Assessment Passed.

Had my Electric Wheelchair Assessment for Home environment and accessibility, earlier today and I passed, Hurrah!. Now it's all a waiting game, as usual.

@peterfrancis , you did better than I did with this assessment. My physio suggested a powered chair. An OT came round and measured me and put an assessment request to Wheelchair Services. The next thing that happened was a company telephoned me to advise that they're delivering a wheelchair in 3 days time. Well, I contacted the OT and left a message. Later the same day, I received a letter from Wheelchair Services, providing details of the wheelchair that would be delivered shortly. I looked it up. It was a manual, self-propelled chair of inferior quality to the one that I had acquired myself a few years ago! I telephoned Wheelchair Services and agreed that they cancelled the order. 2 days later, a wheelchair was delivered, which I rejected. I'm glad you did better than me.............

@Stumbler Sorry to hear about that dude, must be so frustrating. No idea how long it will take for me to get the chair, the Assessor retook my measurements and had a look around the Bungalow at turning points and accessibility etc. This info will be passed on to the Manufacturers.
