Hearing Aid

Looking at HS207 Non-taxable payments or benefits for employees (2016) - GOV.UK
"If you are a disabled employee and your employer provided you with special equipment to help you to work, such as a wheelchair or hearing aid, this exemption applied even if your private use of the equipment was significant because it was also used outside work."
I have read elsewhere that you will have to submit the cost on your P11D as a benefit in kind.
I would not classify myself as disabled but I have previously had a hearing test and I have 25% hearing loss. Getting a bit of a joke when I keep having to ask people to repeat themselves. Could go through the NHS but then that needs a referral and a hospital visit then the hearing aids that they give you.
Thanks

Thanks some really good information there. To expand a little, I have just received a Specsavers reminder to have my hearing tested again in Manchester. The last time I went my tester enthusiastically told me about my hearing loss and said that Specsavers were authorised to issue free hearing aids on behalf of the NHS for over 50s. When I relayed that my home address was in Lancashire not Greater Manchester he dolefully told me that you need to be over 55 to get free hearing aids via Specsavers in Lancashire. Talk about a postcode lottery...Comment
