Neither is your answer completely correct. Most government departments have processes in place to provide their own assessments and my understanding is ATW doesn't fund any of it.

ATW continues to fund assessments for public service employees, however the public service is expected to pay for that adjustment 100%. This has been the policy for at least 4 years; hopefully our new coalition government will wake up to the fact that the BBC is nothing other than a publicly funded service too and apply the same policy!----- Original Message ----- From: "Damon Rose" <damon.rose@xxxxxxxxx>

Good point about ATW. And am I right in thinking that council employees don't use ATW now? I hope my tax pounds aren't further getting taken by the VAT man. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John G Sent: 14 January 2011 12:08 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: VAT on equipment for the blind They're right. I remember having a similar problem some years ago.The only way around it would be for you to place the order in your own name. John At 11:34 14/01/2011, you wrote:Hi All My council has approve some funding for equipment for me. Does anyone know if my council is right regarding the following. They say that they cannot order equipment without being chargedVAT.So they are saying, the workaround this, is for them to transferee money To my bank account, (individual budget scheme) and then, I orderthe kit, and then no VAT would then be payable. Surely a council can place an order on behalf of A disabled individual, and still not have to pay VAT. ~What if it was ATW placing the order!
