Frequently Asked Questions

Many essential mobility aids, such as adapted mobility scooters, powerchairs, and wheelchairs, are subject to a 0% VAT rate in Ireland. For other items, such as riser recliners or profiling beds, if you have a chronic illness or disability, you may be eligible to reclaim VAT from Revenue using Form VAT 61A. BetterLiving provides itemised invoices with every purchase to make this process simple.

Yes. You can test our full range of mobility scooters, chairs, and beds at our showrooms in Dublin (Artane) and Portlaoise. For mobility items like powerchairs and mobility scooters, we also offer free home assessments across Ireland, where our product specialists bring the equipment to you to test in your own living space.

For your safety, our riser recliners (such as the Nevada and Joyce ranges) include a battery backup system. By installing two standard 9V batteries, the chair can be returned to its original seated or standing position at least once during a power failure, ensuring you are never stuck in a reclined position.
