Respectfully that isn’t quite true.
Wheelchair (and stretcher) users who need substantial adaptions won’t be subject to the VAT/IPT changes but will still have a significantly reduced mileage; extra costs on using the car abroad; lower inclusive tyres etc; and a significant increase in excess mileage charges
That’s on some of the most expensive AP ‘cars’ in the scheme too, where we have significant barriers accessing public transport, taxis and friends vehicles.
So yes, we might, if HMRC deem the adaptations significant get a ‘20% discount’ on some charges, but that’s a far cry from protected. And wheelchair users that only need ‘minor’ or no adaptions but still face the same transport barriers don’t even get that.
