Hello everyone.
I've just been searching the internet for incontinence underwear for my Dad and found that VAT relief is available for 'disabled people' on products used for 'personal and domestic use'.
I searched the TP to see if there was any info here about it but couldn't find any reference to VAT relief so thought I'd mention it. I have emailed the company to find out if AD sufferers would qualify.
This is the link if anyone wants to look into it for themselves and I'll let you know what the response to my email is.

While I'm on the subject, can anyone recommend anywhere to buy incontinence products. I'm really looking for something washable, that looks like normal Y front style underwear with either removable or built in pads. The nurse from the GP's surgery turned up with disposable 'nappies' which are no good to Dad at all. They are going to try to get what we want but I think they'll probably come back to us and say they are too expensive to be provided by the NHS.
