Abstract:
The lecture provides a systematic overview of the current regulations on the provision of assistive technology at national and regional level. It also illustrates the related procedures, and the fiscal benefits for those who purchase assistive technology products at their own expenses. The regulations are clustered round five categories: the National Health Service Prosthetic Assistance Scheme; the fiscal benefits eligibility scheme (reduced Vat and deductions in the Annual Tax Declaration); the contributions for removal of architectural barriers; the contributions for cars adaptation; the independent living budget schemes, available in some Regions; and the reimbursements by private Insurance Companies.
