My friends had to support the cost of operating the biological oxygen treatment money

I am reliant On the treatment of oxygen in the long run after a Double lung transplant.

I have the right to pay the extra electricity that the oxygen vehicle uses and received a quarterly payment of about 48 pounds from Vivisol, which manages discounts on behalf of NHS.

However, I had to stay with friends and family for a year after I immersed my house, and I spent two other months in my daughter’s house after the heart operation.

I did not receive any discounts during that time, and Vivisol told me that L will not be compensated while I did not live at home, which means that my host had to support my treatment.

The discount scheme aims to protect qualified patients who rely on the oxygen fun from escalating energy costs.

I see that Vivisol stipulates that patients are eligible for the cost of using the device in their main address.

This amazes me as not clearly clear, as well as unfair. It is irrational matter, those who suffer from such serious health issues may have to move, as it did, in order to take care of comfort or construction work.

It seems that it is unreasonable for me to expect friends and family to apply for what could be a large bill for treatment, and since capacitors record electricity consumption on an integrated scale that is not connected to the family scale, it is easy to be able to monitor the costs concerned.

I first approached NHS England to ask if this restriction is NHS policy and whether there are exemptions for cases like you.

I referred me to the NHS Sussex integrated care board, which made it clear that patients can nominate a temporary address as a major residence by providing service in conditions like you.

Meanwhile, Vivisol responded to my contact by agreeing to re -decrease your discounts to cover the period while you are far away.

A spokesman said: “All communication highlights that eligibility only applies to the main address of the patient. As a result of your email, we will review to determine whether this can be clarified,” said a spokesman.
