To be considered eligible for VAT exemption, you must be a UK resident who is classified as disabled or has a long-term illness. You fall into this category if:
- You have a long-term condition that's treated as chronic (A condition is generally regarded as chronic if you have had it for over 3 months).
- You have a physical or mental impairment that affects your ability to carry out everyday activities (eg blindness).
- You’re terminally ill.
You don’t qualify if you’re elderly (but able-bodied) or if you’re temporarily disabled.
There are no assessments or doctors note's required and the information is not shared, we just need to keep your declaration form on record.
