What financial assistance is available when buying a wig?
If bought privately the VAT of 17.50% can be deducted from the price for medical sufferers (alopecia, cancer treatment etc), and some shops offer a 10% discount if 2 or more wigs are bought in a year. If you have a referral from your GP to a specialist dermatologist you may get some help from the NHS towards the cost of a wig. Provision varies according to which Health Authority covers your area in the UK.
