It is a great rumour , keep on spreading it .... who knows , it may help persuade our politicians. . I would certainly vote for any party which promised it.

Unfortunately , taxes are like heart-rates...... pacemakers won't reduce either of them.

Hi

Actually not as daft as it sounds. I looked this up on the hmrc site. You can claim Vat back for disability aids and disability cars for certain conditions no mention of pacemakers though. Worth a look if you live in the UK.

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
