To be eligible for VAT relief the government says you have to fit the following criteria:

1. Charities – with a registered charity number.
2. A person is ‘chronically sick or disabled‘ if he/she is a person:

✔ With a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon his/her ability to carry out everyday activities;

✔ Have a condition that doctors treat as a chronic sickness (e.g. diabetes).

✔ Who is terminally ill.

Guidance on eligibility is available from the National Advice Service on 0300 200 3700.

• Neither will you qualify if you are elderly but are otherwise able-bodied and don’t suffer from any chronic condition.
