Benjamin Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Try this for starters.http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1698844/ShowPost.aspxLook at the size of the wheels. Have you seen some of the pavements here. Mrs Benjamin is sometimes looking up at the blue yonder when I'm pushing her in the wheelchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 No one would push me( except over a cliff).What I was asking was a bit on the practical level of what is re-reimbursed..Something like the thread about re-claiming car expenses.

Charente Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Perhaps I can help you on this; we run a business selling mobility scooters which is based in the Charente but which delivers across France. Regarding a grant to purchase, depending on your handicap and the MDPH in your region, it is very occasionally possible to get assistance to purchase a scooter. However clients of ours who have applied have generally had to wait an average of 18 months for a decision and only those on the maximum disability level have qualified. With regard to hiring, depending on where you live in relation to our offices the cost of transport to/from can be very expensive - usually buying a scooter is cheaper. You need to be able to keep any electric scooter dry so in a garage, hallway, sous-sol is fine next to a normal electric power point for recharging (all our scooters arrive with their own chargers). Hope this helps but if you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Catriona RILEYPost edited by a moderator, please contact poster by PM if necessary.
