i managed to end a meeting with the guy assessing me for a wheelchair without telling him to just pxxxs off out of my house and stop wasteing my time! this was extremely hard as he refused to allow me an electric chair on the grounds it would not get me to the toilet...i never use the toilet as i am doubly incontinent and my only toilet is upstairs! Aparently it doesn't matter how old you are, if you need a wheelchair then the fact you are unable to move it outside yourself does not matter at all, as long as you can sit in it and move it from room to room indoors is all that matters, how you have to move it does not matter either, whether the way you move it is safe or not does not count either. so as long as you can somehow launch yourself into the chair and pull yourself around in it by grabbing furniture and door frames the authorities are happy they are meeting your needs! what a load of cxxp!
