Still got Questions? No problem
Ultimately, the scheme is authorised and enforced by HMRC. And while they can’t tell you if you are eligible for VAT relief, they do require that we keep accurate records of all self-declarations made.
Please email [email protected] if you have any further queries.
Do I need to be registered Disabled?
Absolutely not. As long as you have a chronic illness or disability that effects your ability to carry out everyday activities.
How do I know for sure if I can claim?
Your GP or trusted medical professional will be able to tell you if your condition qualifies as a chronic condition or disability.
I've severely injured myself, does that count?
Unfortunately not, no matter how long it takes, if you’re expected to recover from your condition then it is not considered to be chronic.
Is anyone going to check up on the validity of my claim?
No, however, when you submit a claim for VAT relief via Essential Wellness you are making a Self-Declaration. In short, we’re taking you on your word and storing a copy of your form in case we need to justify the VAT refund to HMRC.
