- Need to be chronically sick or disabled (which includes dementia).

When you click this option, you will be asked 4 simple questions. Should the answers to these questions show your eligibility, you’ll be able to add the selected product to the cart and don’t worry, should you want to add another product which is also eligible for VAT relief, your answers from the first questionnaire will be saved.
