Non-eligibility

Why can’t you give me a wheelchair?

The NHS has set the eligibility criteria that we must follow.  Although you are not eligible for an NHS wheelchair now, we understand that you might still want a wheelchair and we would like to help you where we can. Our options for non-NHS support are designed to help you to stay independent and socially included.

The wheelchair service follows the NHS eligibility criteria set by the NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board. 

What can I do if I don’t agree?

You can appeal any decision made by our clinical team. Please contact our clinical commercial team on 0330 128 1260 or email ccs@ajmhealthcare.org if you need any help with this.

Will I need to pay for my wheelchair?

You will need to pay for your wheelchair.  You may be eligible to access other sources of funding, such as charities or social care and we can support you with this.
