I have secondary breast cancer, which is in my bones. Especially pelvis and spine. My consultant said that if I fall over I could shatter (his word not mine). I've qualified for PIP and the mobility car part. Could anyone advise on what is the easiest mobility scooter to get in/out of car. At the moment I have a Ford Fiesta which I will be changing for something abit higher so its easier to get in/out. My plan is to take my dog out on the mobility scooter, me on scooter not the dog lol. He's abit lively and reactive, so I can't walk him incase he pulls me over. 

  • Hi I have no experience that I can bring to advise you but lets look for others who can to come along but I would think that you are going to have to search out mobility scooter in your local area, get some advice and and try some out.

    You may want to call the Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear. You may also find our Ask an Expert section helpful but do allow a few working days for a reply.

    They may have some information that they can give you.
