That applies to ALL aids. Eg If you ask your GP about a wheelchair and the GP says no, then that is the end of it.

if only they followed those guidelines. Before you accuse me of peddling myths I am aware of those guidelines, and they have had to be used in so many appeals I have lost count, countless assessments people are been assumed to have a wheelchair even when they tell the assessor they have been told not to use one.
Then we have the situation where people have not been told to not use a wheelchair but also havent been told to use one and as such dont have one. The only time someone should be assessed in a wheelchair is if they actually have a wheelchair to use as specifically directed by a doctor.
