My husband gets a new power wheelchair every 5 years.........5 years is a lot of wear and tear .......I'd say whatever it takes to get a new one, the truth usually works pretty good plus, the older you get, the more one relies on a power wheelchair..........you're entitled..........

What shouldn't I say? The power chair I'm in now is only 5 years old BUT it malfunctions a lot, like stopping whenever it wants to. It also move's on it's own and it tip backwards very easily.  In December 2005 I had an MRI that showed I have a syrinx on C 6 and osteoporosis in my neck.  OH, and I've ordered a tilt for the very first time in 33 years.  What would you guys do and not do to get this new power chair approved?   ~ Bobbie ~
