When am I entitled to a stair climbing wheelchair like Scewo BRO?
People who are severely limited in their strength and/or mobility due to an illness, accident or other reasons are entitled to a power wheelchair such as the Scewo BRO. Depending on the severity of the mobility restriction, the classification of a wheelchair-dependent person takes place in the care degrees 3, 4, or 5 (DE) or disability degree 1 to 4 (CH).
As with most power wheelchairs, the level of subsidy for the Scewo BRO depends on the degree of disability of the wheelchair user.
In Germany, BRO has an aid number (18.50.08.0001), which can help when applying to the health insurance company. Depending on the applicant’s situation and degree of disability, the cost of a stair climbing wheelchair may be paid in full or in part.
