Applying for a PGB Mobility Scooter
Mobility is an essential part of our daily freedom and independence. For many, a mobility scooter offers the solution to continue participating actively in life. But how do you finance such an important provision? A Personal Budget (PGB) can offer a solution. At For Motion, we understand the value of unlimited mobility and are happy to guide you through the process of applying for a PGB mobility scooter, so you can head out again without a care.
What is a PGB and why is it relevant for a mobility scooter?
The Personal Budget (PGB) is an amount with which you can purchase your own care or support. Instead of care in kind (where the municipality determines which care you receive), a PGB puts you in control. This is particularly valuable when you need a mobility scooter that perfectly matches your personal needs and wishes. With a PGB, you can choose which mobility scooter you buy, from which supplier, and which adjustments are necessary, without being bound to standard models offered by the municipality.
The benefits of a PGB for your mobility scooter
Choosing a PGB offers various benefits, especially when it comes to purchasing a mobility scooter:
- Full control: You choose the mobility scooter that suits you best, including specific adjustments.
- Customization: Possibility for mobility scooter adjustments that are essential for your comfort and safety.
- Freedom of choice: You are not bound by municipality contracts and can search for the best value for money yourself.
- Independence: Maintain your independence by managing your own mobility solution.
How to apply for a PGB mobility scooter? A practical step-by-step plan
The process for applying for a PGB subsidy can seem complex, but with a clear step-by-step plan, it becomes manageable. We are happy to help you through this process.
Step 1: Contact your municipality – the Wmo desk
The first step is always to contact the Wmo desk of your municipality. The Social Support Act (Wmo) is the basis for your application. They carry out a so-called 'notification', in which you make your request for help known. Clearly indicate why you need a mobility scooter and why a PGB is preferred over care in kind. This is also the phase in which you discuss the possibility of applying for a Wmo subsidy, should a PGB not be the most suitable option.
Step 2: The investigation and the assessment
Following your report, an investigation will take place. A representative from the municipality or a party engaged by the municipality will visit your home for a conversation. During this meeting, your personal situation, limitations, and needs will be mapped out. It is important that you are honest and complete. Prepare yourself well and think about the following points:
- What are you still able to do yourself?
- What do you need help with?
- What is the impact of your mobility limitation on your daily life?
- Which solution (for example, a mobility scooter) do you see as the most appropriate?
- Why do you choose a PGB and not care in kind?
Step 3: Drafting the PGB plan
If the municipality concludes that you are eligible for a PGB, you must draw up a PGB plan. In this, you describe accurately how you will purchase the support and what costs are involved. Specifically for a mobility scooter, this includes:
- The choice for a specific mobility scooter (for example, a model from For Motion such as the Forty-5 or Fast One).
- The reason why this mobility scooter best meets your needs.
- The costs of the mobility scooter and any modifications.
- A maintenance plan (consider mobility scooter maintenance).
Step 4: Approval and execution
After you have submitted the PGB plan, the municipality will assess it. Upon approval, you will receive a decision stating the budget you will receive and for which period. You can then proceed with the purchase of your mobility scooter and finalize the agreements with your supplier. The Sociale Verzekeringsbank (SVB) manages your PGB and handles the payments from your budget.
