Aids for people with disabilities
Thanks to Flemish and Brussels social protection, mobility aids such as a wheelchair or a rollator are affordable for people with a permanent or long-term disability. The VAPH also provides various allowances.

Flemish social protection
Are you no longer able to move around properly due to a disability, chronic illness or old age? The Flemish social protection (Vlaamse Sociale Bescherming, VSB) contributes to the rent or purchase of a mobility aid such as a walking frame (rollator), wheelchair, scooter or tricycle. This concerns:
- a fixed amount for a mobility aid that you purchase;
- the full rental price if you rent a mobility aid;
- the costs of maintenance and repairs.
Anyone who is affiliated with CM-Zorgkas can call on this for financial settlement.
Conditions and more information on the website of the Vlaamse Sociale bescherming.
