Individuals who are chronically sick or disabled can claim VAT Relief on those products shown with "without VAT" prices. A person is 'chronically sick or disabled' if they:
Have a physical or mental impairment that has a long-term affect on their ability to carry out everyday activities
Have a condition that doctors treat as a chronic sickness (like diabetes, for example)
OR
Are terminally ill
The following conditions may also qualify for VAT Relief in some circumstances; Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Oedema, Heart Disease, Stroke.
A person with a temporary injury like a broken leg would not qualify, nor would a frail older person who is otherwise well and non-disabled.
If you are not sure please ask your medical advisor, as we are not able to give medical opinions.
By completing our online VAT Relief declaration you are agreeing to these terms and conditions and that you are claiming relief from Value Added Tax under Group 12 of Schedule 8 to the Value Added Tax Act of 1994.

I have been wearing these socks for many years when flying and find them very comfortable to wear, even on long-haul journeys. Although they have graduated compression, they are relatively easy to put on and not too hot as they have a higher percentage of cotton. These socks have higher compression value than our Energising Socks and are tighter around the leg, therefore, if you suffer from certain medical conditions, these may not be suitable for you so please check first. There is also an extra roomy option if your feet and legs have a tendency to swell.
