A power wheelchair may sound luxurious, but after considering the additional cost and maintenance involved, it may seem like it is not worth the money. This article will provide guidance on determining whether a power wheelchair is right for you.

First, consider the price of the wheelchair. A power wheelchair is a major purchase. If you are on a strict budget, make sure that you will benefit sufficiently to justify the cost. Ask yourself if you are willing to sacrifice your money in other areas so that you can afford the chair. These are personal questions which the user of the chair must ask him or herself.

Next, consider your current level of mobility. You may not want to spend the money for a power wheelchair if you can sit for extended periods of time, if you are fairly strong and energetic, and if you can get around fairly easily. Likewise, if you spend very little time in your wheelchair, because of various health issues, you may not want to spend the money on a power wheelchair.

Finally, consider your own desire for the chair itself. If a power wheelchair will provide you with motivation to do more and go more places, or if owning the chair will allow you to get more involved in life, you may decide that you are willing to pay for a power wheelchair.

If you decide to purchase a power wheelchair, make sure that you take the time to research all of the option available to you. With some invested time, you will find the perfect wheelchair for you!

By: Stacy | 08-09-2008
Are disability benefits (when the LTD, for example, is employer paid) taxed to the employee as "income" or "wages"? I know that the benefit will be subject to FIT and FICA...but if the employee works in a state that also charges City Wage Tax (i.e. Philadelphia, PA), will the LTD benefit be taxed a City Wage Tax when the employee is completing their annual income tax return?
