Jax Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Went for an appointment to my local VAMC today for an appointment to see if I was eligible for a motorized scooter. The guy in charge said that "the rules" stated that he could not give out scooters unless there was a loss of one or more limbs or unless I had heart and / or lung issues. I was referred to the rehab dept by my PCP, Psych & local social worker who all said with my pain and mobility issues I should be able to get one. Needless to say, I will have to appeal his initial decision. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find these "rules" that state this. Everything I've read so far doesn't contain any specific qualifications for receiving a scooter. Am just wondering if he's blowing smoke up my butt. I'd like to get the regs pertaining to this and go over them myself. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Kelly Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ha! Love your little scooter there, Jax! I heard you can get mobility scooter "at little or no cost to you" (then those people got busted). Hope someone in the know chimes in for ya.
