I mean there has to be some reason for that! Do they just offer less £ in the frst place if you decide to use their voucher scheme? Discount already subtracted as they do with the Budget?
Interested to know! I presumed they had special deals arranged. With preferential pricing... You are sure that your boss doesent pay the WCS anything back for this free business? Sound a lot like unfair practices to me. Somehow. Definitely something going on there!
Burgerman, I hope you will enjoy your new wheelchair. You are going to fit 8 inch tyres, Do you have to change the rims as well? Does that make the chair lower by 1 inch? You’re also going to move the seat backwards but the overall length of the chair will stay the same, is there a way to make the overall length of the chair shorter? Looking forward for your modifications. All the best.Then it will be tested, after smaller caster tyres fitted,

Burgerman, thank you for the information. But the 8 inch tyres you are ordering, are these tubeless or you have to put a tube in them? Thank you.They fit the stock 4" x 2.5" wide rims. Yes it will lower the front 1 inch but thats no problem
Which begs the question how does a list help the user? And why a list of approved chairs?
It would have prevented me from buying the chair I bought yesterday. 12K chair for 4.4K unused for all intents - was bought and returned in Aug. 12 month warranty.
Thats is a way better deal for the user, in this case me, increases the value of the NHS money. Better spent than any of their approved lists. This is just ONE way that the budget is better than their restrictive voucher scheme. Because I can buy "used" on eBay for 1/3rd retail price.
I agree that the budget isnt the best way for all users. But its the only one that gives us free choice. Many wheelchair services are just continuing the old voucher scheme and giving it a different name. They are imposing all the same rules. And thats NOT what it is. Both are supposed to be available to run alongside each other for a couple of years. Before the voucher scheme is scrapped.
BM, Can you buy tubeless rims for these tyres?They are actually available as tubeless and tube type. Both are OK, both still need a tube in the stock rims as its not a tubeless rim.
