Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
This might be a useful link for people with disabilities.

I've only seen this apply to PC modified specifically for the disabled - large keyboard/monitor with mangnifying facility. A PC that can be used by 'normal' users would not be exempt.
Yep, I'd agree with Buzby in this case - it would have to be a modified unit to qualify as normal PCs are not designed solely for people with a disability.
Hi
Below is an extract from HM Revenue and Customs website which I think clarifies this point.
It is not sufficient for zero-rating that the equipment or appliance is merely destined or intended for use by a disabled person, or is mainly purchased by disabled persons. For example, general purpose equipment such as most computer hardware, ordinary or orthopaedic beds, orthopaedic or reclining chairs may benefit a disabled person, but are designed for general use or for use by disabled and able bodied people alike. Such products are not eligible for relief.

I have recently supplied 2 cars to disabled customers and as long as the car is adapted for use by the disabled customer then no VAT is charged on the car.
It used to be that the cost of the modification to the vehicle had to equal the VAT content of the price for it to be zero rated & I'm not sure if that's still the case.
A multi showroom franchised dealer in the SW in the 80's was selling vehicles where the mod was a couple of ramps costing a couple of hundred & not charging any vat. When the vat man found out about it boy was it bad for the dealer. He went bust almost went to prison & a lot of people lost their jobs
as a disable person myself I looked ito this a little bit and found out (as I undestand it) that only the cost of adaption is vat free, not the cost of the item.
Er, since the majority of PC's are 'standard', if a minority require adaption, they become non-standard as a result.
I find it difficult to obtain clothing from M&S, and have to source non-standard fashions. I would much prefer this, than explain I require 'adapted clothing'.
To your expression that there is such a thing as a 'correct reference', I don't believe there is. It may be a 'politically correct', but that's all.
I don't know for sure but a friend of mine got the VAT back off his caravan.
