Hello donna and welcome
You don't say what if any benefits you claim. If you qualify for the mobility element of PIP this will give you some help toward what you need

Have you looked for a second hand one? Have a look on the internet at places like gumtree in your area. There's often quite a few on there for sale. I got myself one a few months ago, it's light weight and fits in the boot of my car. These hire companies often charge a lot for hire of these, i looked into this and it wasn't something i could easily afford.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
