I am overweight and find it hard to move about, can I get a mobility scooter on the NHS?

I can't afford to buy one as I am to fat to work

I don't know about you, darling, but that Drummania is seriously starting to get on my t*its. Doesn't like you, yet comes looking for your questions??? What a loser.

Anyway - yes, of course you can get a mobility scooter on the NHS. We'll make sure you do - keep moving health districts till we find one that agrees. It's hardly your fault that you're fat, is it? I mean, I KNOW, that you have the appetite of a sparrow. I feel certain it's your glands.

I love you xx

what is with this donna m and crispy thing? i have seen donna m in every question the crispy has asked. Report It

Ring them and ask

I got one.
Waaaatcccccch out Zippy !

i hate fat people that complain. its pathetic

i hate fat people that complain. its pathetic

i dont think they provide tractors as mobility carts.

well you find it hard to move about not impossiable. Get off your @$$ and loose some weight, get a job and walk to work.

Jesus will you try and get some way fit so you can stand on your own 2 legs, it's pathetic to hear a question like that...

no. but but you may be able to get one through social services, or dss.
if you are getting higher rate mobility payment, then you could transfer it and get something.
give me the 10 point best answer, and i will sell you a spare that I have very cheap.

Just do us all a favor, and shoot yourself now.

no doubt you can
the nhs likes to give freebies away to the least-deserving ;) so good luck with that!

The question should be....can you fit in one?

Find out if your entitled to Disability Living Allowance, if you are and you get high rate mobility then u will be able to get a mobility scooter

i doubt it - you have to have a certified disability to get one, and it wouldnt be throught eh NHS it would be the motability scheme.

As being overweight does not count as a disability, you probably will not. No harm in trying though of course.

Thanks for irritating joke. Lots of people got freebies on the NHS but when it comes to treatment - Sorry, wrong department! (sorry, my life experience)

they give lots to people who don't deserve it,why not you too.?

stop eating so bloody much then

If you are overweight as a result of lazyness and overeating the answer is no, however if your doctor finds that you may have a genuine underying medical condition then according to what the condition is, you may receive some help. You may have renal failure like me which can really make you very overweight due to fluid build up in your body. There are other health probs that can cause the body to be overweight.

So um lemme get this straight, you want a mobility scooter to get more overweight. I would hope that you won't be able to get one as you are overweight, moving around on your feet would make you lose weight, also get some help to lose weight, it will be better in the long run, maybe get married (if you are not already) also get a job. =) I dunno.

thats grosse.
i hate fat people.
i love the ones who make the effort to become anorexic mind...
why dont you go anorexic?
so much more sexier...
plus you can laze about in hospital then too!

Seriously...why do people bother posting stuff on here just to wind everyone else up.

Do you enjoy the attention!!!

Get real

Hi, the fist thing you will need to do is go and see them to see if they can give you one. But the thing is you may have to loose some weight first, as you need to help your self beofr you take the easy route. They may let you see a nutirsionist first.

well as you can be extremely rude, and thoughtless you don't deserve anything from the NHS, why don't you get off your bum and loose some weight, if your living off benefits due to being lazy then your the last person to criticise others. or maybe being over weight is why your so bitter. exercise is good for the mind, it makes you feel happy.
