Other Details

Costs

Details: If we offer you a piece of equipment but you prefer a more expensive version (that still meets the same needs) we might be able to help towards the cost. We may offer you an amount of money equivalent to the cost of equipment that we offer. This is called a direct payment. You can add your own money to this and buy the more expensive version. Contact us for full information about direct payments for equipment.
