A prosthetic plan should address suitability, fitting, rehabilitation, maintenance and replacement, not only the purchase price of the first device. The appropriate equipment depends on clinical assessment, the person's goals and how it works in daily life. A high price, advanced feature or successful demonstration does not establish that a particular prosthesis is suitable for a particular person.
In a personal injury claim in England and Wales, future prosthetic costs require evidence about those practical needs and the assumptions behind them. The claim should distinguish prescribed equipment from options still being assessed, current costs from future estimates and actual use from hoped-for use. No universal replacement cycle or lifetime figure fits every amputation.
This guide explains the evidence task and provides a lifetime equipment planning sheet. It does not prescribe a device, offer fitting advice or recommend treatment. Those decisions belong with the appropriate clinical team. Legal recoverability and valuation also require individual advice; a supplier quotation is important evidence but is not the complete damages assessment.
Clinical suitability: begin with the person and intended activity
A device is part of a rehabilitation plan
Prosthetic provision involves more than choosing a product. Assessment may consider the amputation, health, function, environment and intended activities, together with the support needed to use the equipment appropriately. The NHS amputation information describes rehabilitation and prosthetic considerations while making clear that individual circumstances matter.
For the claim file, record what the clinical team has recommended and what remains under discussion. Keep the prescription or assessment rather than paraphrasing it from memory. If an option has only been mentioned as a possibility, label it accordingly.
Do not assume that receiving a prosthesis means it can be used all day or for every activity. Ask the relevant professionals to explain its intended role, any limitations and the other support or equipment needed. The financial plan should reflect actual assessed use rather than a marketing description of the product's potential.
Define goals in ordinary activities
Useful goals might concern moving around the home, working, caring for children, travelling or participating in a particular leisure activity. Describe the activity in enough detail for the clinical team to assess it. “Return to work” means different things for a desk-based role, a job involving uneven ground and work requiring repeated manual tasks.
Record the context: surfaces, distances, frequency, environmental conditions and the need to carry or manipulate objects where relevant. These are observations for assessment, not instructions to attempt an unsafe activity. The prosthetist and wider team decide what evaluation is appropriate.
A goal can be important without being immediately achievable. The plan should distinguish current provision, a trial and a longer-term aspiration. This allows future review without presenting every hoped-for activity as an established equipment requirement.
Compare alternatives through evidence
Where more than one option is proposed, ask how suitability will be assessed. A comparison may involve clinical evaluation, a trial or specific functional questions. The relevant professionals should determine the method; the claimant should not be expected to decide solely from technical specifications or online testimonials.
Record what each option is intended to improve and what disadvantages or additional requirements it brings. Weight, charging, maintenance, training, environmental suitability and compatibility may matter, depending on the device. Do not assume that a feature beneficial to one person is automatically necessary for another.
The claim evidence should explain the selected option and alternatives considered. A reasoned recommendation is more useful than a statement that the most expensive device is the best. Equally, a cheaper item is not a suitable substitute merely because it performs a broadly similar function on paper.
Fitting and early changes
Separate initial provision from a stable long-term arrangement
The first period after amputation can involve changing needs and repeated clinical review. A device supplied during that period should not automatically be treated as the permanent specification for a lifetime calculation. Ask which aspects are expected to change and what evidence will support later decisions.
Keep dates of assessment, fitting, adjustment and review. Record the reason for a change as explained by the clinical team. Do not infer that every adjustment indicates a defective product or that a lack of adjustment proves the fit remains appropriate.
For financial evidence, distinguish what is included in the initial package from separately charged appointments or components. A quotation may cover a defined episode of care, while another charges each element individually. Comparing totals without understanding the scope can produce a misleading budget.
Record practical experience without self-diagnosis
Keep a short log of intended activity, actual use and difficulties reported to the clinical team. If you stop using the device or use it for less time, record what happened and seek appropriate advice. Do not diagnose the cause or make unapproved modifications to test a theory for the claim.
Include successful use and improvements. A reliable record should not focus only on difficulties. It may show that one activity becomes manageable while another still requires assistance or alternative equipment. That distinction helps the team assess the plan's effectiveness.
Where symptoms or skin concerns arise, contact the relevant healthcare professionals. A legal evidence diary is not a substitute for clinical review. The purpose of recording is to preserve an accurate account of experience and decisions, not to instruct continued use through a problem.
Preserve the trial outcome
If a trial takes place, retain the agreed goals, duration, provider notes and outcome. Ask what the trial can and cannot establish. A successful short session may not answer long-term questions about everyday use, while an unsuccessful trial may require explanation before an option is dismissed entirely.
Record environmental differences. Using a device in a clinic may differ from using it at home or work. The appropriate team should consider whether additional assessment is needed. Do not recreate challenging conditions without professional guidance simply to gather evidence.
A claim should not describe trial equipment as permanently prescribed unless that decision has been made. Keep the status visible: proposed, trialled, recommended, approved, supplied or discontinued. These stages have different implications for cost and future planning.
Replacement cycles: document the assumption
There is no universal lifespan for every component
A prosthetic system may contain components with different expected service lives, warranties and replacement requirements. The appropriate assumption can depend on the component, pattern of use, clinical changes and supplier support. Avoid applying a single generic number of years to the whole package without evidence.
Ask the relevant provider to explain which parts may require replacement, why and on what basis. Distinguish routine expected replacement from a possible future upgrade. A technological development is not automatically an established clinical need.
The lifetime plan should identify the source and date of each assumption. If it is based on a current quotation or professional estimate, say so. Future provision inevitably contains uncertainty, but uncertainty should be transparent rather than disguised by exact-looking totals.
Changing needs can matter more than product wear
A device may need reassessment because of changes in health, function, activity or fit, even if the equipment has not reached a nominal replacement date. Conversely, a calendar interval alone does not prove every component needs replacement at that point. The clinical evidence should explain the likely pattern.
Record foreseeable review milestones, including relevant growth or life-stage considerations where appropriate to the individual. Paediatric and adult planning are not interchangeable. Do not use a generic adult schedule for a child or assume that a current occupational goal remains unchanged throughout life.
Ask how uncertainty is represented in the claim. The solicitor may need expert evidence and appropriate financial calculations. The claimant should not independently multiply a supplier's present package cost by a guessed number of future replacements and treat that as the award.
Clarify what happens when a model is discontinued
A long-term plan should not depend on a particular product being sold unchanged for decades. Ask how the clinical requirement is described independently of the current model name. The relevant question is the assessed function and support needed, not a promise that today's catalogue will remain available.
Supplier continuity, software support and replacement parts may be relevant for some equipment. Obtain current information and identify its limits. A warranty is not a lifetime guarantee of access to the same technology.
This does not justify speculative budgets for unknown future products. It supports a reasoned plan based on current evidence, with the uncertainties explained. The legal assessment should distinguish foreseeable costs from unsupported assumptions about future innovation.
Maintenance, repairs and contingency
Identify routine service requirements
Ask for the manufacturer's or provider's maintenance and review information through the clinical team. Keep the documents supplied with the device. The claimant should understand whom to contact for a fault and which work must be carried out by an authorised professional.
For the budget, separate scheduled servicing, consumables, repairs and clinical reviews. Some may be included in a package; others may not. Ask about travel, collection, loan equipment and turnaround arrangements where relevant.
Do not invent a standard annual repair allowance. If a future cost is proposed, identify the evidence supporting it and whether it overlaps with warranty cover or another package. A transparent assumption can be assessed; an unexplained round sum is harder to justify.
Plan for time without the main device
A breakdown, repair or clinical problem may affect daily function. Ask the team what alternative arrangements are appropriate. A backup device or other mobility or functional support may be relevant in some cases, but it should be assessed rather than assumed necessary for everyone.
Record the consequences of actual downtime: activities affected, assistance required and additional expenses. Distinguish the need caused by the original injury from a separate dispute about a defective product or service. The solicitor may need to consider different responsibilities.
Where a contingency is recommended, explain its purpose. Is it for ordinary maintenance, a specific activity or another assessed requirement? The budget should not count multiple items with overlapping functions without showing why the provision is reasonable.
Keep warranty and repair records
Retain serial or model details where appropriate, purchase or supply dates, warranty terms and service records. These help identify what was provided and what support remains available. Avoid publishing identifying device information unnecessarily; store it securely with the claim documents.
For each repair, record the problem reported, provider response, work performed, time unavailable and cost. Do not label the cause as manufacturing failure unless that has been established. The factual sequence is sufficient for initial legal assessment.
If an item is replaced, ask how the old equipment should be retained or disposed of, particularly if a defect or disputed condition may be relevant. Do not destroy potentially important evidence without discussing the position with the solicitor and appropriate provider.
Associated therapy and support
Training and rehabilitation are separate budget items
A device may require assessment, fitting and professional support to use it appropriately. Those services should be identified in the plan rather than treated as an automatic free addition. Ask who provides them, what is included in the quotation and how progress will be reviewed.
The NICE guidance on rehabilitation after traumatic injury addresses coordinated, individual rehabilitation planning. In the claim file, keep the actual recommendations and attendance record. Do not assume that the general existence of a guideline establishes a particular number of sessions for your case.
If an appointment is cancelled or delayed, record the reason and effect. A recommended programme is not the same as a delivered programme. This distinction matters when explaining why a trial or functional assessment has not yet produced reliable long-term evidence.
Coordinate equipment with home and work
A prosthetic plan may interact with housing, transport, workplace arrangements and other equipment. The relevant professionals should use compatible assumptions. A device suited to an assessed activity may still require a practical environment in which it can be used.
For housing evidence, see Home Adaptations After an Injury. Avoid counting the same need in separate budgets without explanation. For example, an adaptation and a piece of equipment may complement each other, or they may be alternative ways of addressing the same barrier.
If the person is returning to work, describe actual duties and restrictions rather than the job title alone. The equipment assessment should not promise employment outcomes that also depend on the employer, vocational factors and the person's broader health.
Include psychological and practical adjustment appropriately
Amputation can affect daily identity, confidence and participation as well as physical function. Discuss concerns with appropriate healthcare professionals. A prosthesis should not be presented as a guaranteed solution to every consequence of the injury.
Where psychological support or other rehabilitation is recommended, preserve the referral and plan. The legal evidence should distinguish clinical recommendations from the claimant's understandable hope that a particular device will resolve wider difficulties.
Coordination can help prevent an equipment-focused claim from overlooking transport, appointment burden, family assistance or access barriers. For the role of a coordinator, read What a Rehabilitation Case Manager Does. Appointment and funding terms still need individual confirmation.
NHS and privately funded provision
Describe actual provision accurately
Record what has been assessed, offered and supplied through the NHS or another service. Avoid assuming that an item is unavailable based on a general online statement. Local pathways, clinical suitability and the person's circumstances need checking with the responsible service.
A private recommendation should explain the additional or alternative need it addresses. The existence of NHS provision does not by itself answer every damages question, but neither should it be omitted from the evidence. Your solicitor needs the complete position to assess reasonable future costs and prevent duplication.
Keep correspondence about waiting times, trials and decisions. If a request is declined, preserve the reasons rather than summarising it as “the NHS will not help”. A precise record supports a more useful clinical and legal discussion.
Clarify who contracts and pays
Before a privately funded assessment or purchase, identify the contracting party, payer and terms. An insurer may agree to fund an assessment without agreeing to buy the recommended equipment. A solicitor's referral does not necessarily make the firm responsible for the provider's bill.
Ask about deposits, cancellation charges, package limits, warranties and the cost of changes following clinical review. These are commercial details with practical consequences. They should be understood before signing, not reconstructed after a funding disagreement.
If interim funds are sought, provide a reasoned recommendation and cost breakdown. Approval should be recorded clearly. Do not assume that a payment towards current provision determines the final value of lifetime prosthetic needs.
Lifetime equipment planning sheet
Use one row for each clinically supported item or service. Keep speculative options in a separate section until assessed. The sheet organises evidence; it does not calculate damages automatically.
| Item or service | Intended activity | Clinical support | Current provision | Cost scope | Review or replacement basis | Uncertainty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main prosthetic system | Assessed everyday activities | Relevant prescription or report | Proposed, trialled or supplied | Components, fitting and included reviews | Provider and expert evidence | Fit or future use still under review |
| Specific component | Defined function within system | Compatibility and suitability advice | Model and supply date | Purchase, fitting and warranty | Component-specific evidence | Future availability or requirement |
| Consumables | Supported routine use | Provider guidance | Actual usage record | Quantity and unit cost | Evidence of expected use | Variation in consumption |
| Maintenance | Keeping provision usable | Service requirements | Current contract | Included and excluded work | Documented schedule | Repairs outside package |
| Associated rehabilitation | Safe and effective functional use | Appropriate clinical recommendation | Booked and attended sessions | Assessment, treatment and travel | Goal and review milestones | Outcome not yet established |
| Contingency equipment | Assessed downtime or separate need | Specific recommendation | Existing alternatives | Purchase, hire or support | Reasoned duration and use | Overlap with other provision |
Add a source column to every assumption
A useful working version identifies the report, quotation or provider correspondence behind each entry. Include the date because prices and recommendations can change. If a figure is an estimate, label it and state what would be needed to refine it.
Separate the expected frequency of clinical review from the expected replacement of a component. They are not necessarily the same. Also distinguish a warranty period from an anticipated useful life; the expiry of one does not automatically establish the other.
Ask the solicitor which assumptions need expert evidence and which can be supported through ordinary documents. This prevents the sheet from becoming either an unsupported personal calculation or an unnecessarily expensive exercise in obtaining reports for undisputed minor details.
Keep actual expenditure separate from forecasts
Use one tab or section for invoices already incurred and another for future needs. Mark unpaid invoices, third-party payments, refunds and disputed charges. A quoted item not purchased should not appear as a past expense.
When a forecast changes, retain the earlier version and explain the reason. A trial result, changed clinical recommendation or updated price may justify revision. Transparent version history helps avoid confusion when different documents contain different totals.
The final damages calculation may involve actuarial and other legal considerations beyond this sheet. The government's Ogden tables publication is a primary resource used in relevant future loss calculations. Selecting and applying assumptions requires case-specific expertise; the table is not a prosthetic price calculator.
Evidence from ordinary use
Keep a proportionate activity log
Choose a period that helps answer an identified question. If the issue is whether an option supports a particular task, record the task, setting, duration and assistance involved. Avoid collecting enormous amounts of repetitive information without a purpose.
Include reasons for non-use where known. A day without the prosthesis might reflect a clinical instruction, a repair, an unrelated illness or a personal choice. Those circumstances have different implications and should not be collapsed into one measure of failure.
The log should not become a target that pressures you to use equipment beyond clinical advice. Follow the healthcare team's guidance and report problems through the appropriate route. Evidence gathering must remain secondary to appropriate care.
Prepare for an expert assessment
Bring the relevant clinical history, current equipment details, trial records and a clear account of your activities and goals. Explain previous provision and why it changed. If the expert asks about a difficulty, describe what occurs rather than selecting technical terminology you do not understand.
Tell the expert about other conditions or limitations that affect use. A reliable opinion requires the full picture. Concealing relevant history may produce an unsuitable recommendation and undermine the legal assessment.
Read the factual sections of the report and identify errors with supporting material. The expert's professional conclusion is a different matter; disagreement should be raised through your solicitor, not resolved by editing the report yourself.
Three hypothetical planning decisions
A premium option after a successful short trial
Imagine a person who tries a more advanced component during a clinic appointment and reports a useful improvement. The supplier provides a lifetime estimate based on repeated purchase of the same package. The trial is encouraging, but it does not yet answer every question about everyday use, maintenance or suitability over time.
The next step is to ask what further assessment is appropriate and which assumptions support the forecast. The plan distinguishes the observed benefit from unresolved long-term questions. It also checks whether the package includes fitting, rehabilitation and servicing.
This example does not favour a cheaper or more expensive device. It shows why an evidence-led comparison is stronger than either accepting a sales estimate automatically or dismissing an option solely because it costs more.
Repeated changes during early rehabilitation
A second person needs several adjustments as their clinical circumstances develop. A family member worries that each change means the original provision was wrong. The clinical team explains the reason for the reviews and the status of the longer-term plan.
The claim file records the actual sequence, costs and recommendations. It does not assume that early changes will occur at the same frequency for life. Nor does it omit them from past expenses simply because they formed part of the rehabilitation process.
The evidence separates temporary provision, clinical change and possible service concerns. If a specific defect or inadequate service is alleged, that issue requires its own factual and legal assessment rather than being inferred from the number of appointments.
A repair period that creates additional assistance needs
A third person sends a component for repair and cannot perform certain activities in the usual way during the delay. A relative provides extra help. The diary records the actual tasks and duration, while the equipment file records the fault report, provider response and return date.
The team considers whether a suitable contingency arrangement is needed for future downtime. That question is assessed clinically and practically; it is not answered by automatically purchasing a duplicate of every item.
The solicitor can then examine the related costs and avoid overlap between equipment, care and travel claims. The hypothetical illustrates evidence organisation, not a guarantee that all repair-related expenses are recoverable from the original defendant.
Keep the specification understandable
Technical component names can make a budget difficult to follow. Ask for a plain-language description of the purpose of each major item alongside its technical identifier. This helps you check whether the plan reflects your actual activities without pretending you must become an equipment specialist. Keep the exact specification in the supporting documents so the legal and clinical teams can identify what is being proposed.
Also record whether a recommendation assumes a particular level of assistance or training. An item that can be used only with support may still be appropriate, but the plan should not describe it as delivering complete independence. Likewise, a feature intended for one activity should not be presented as solving every functional difficulty.
Before a review meeting, mark the questions you cannot answer from the documents. Examples include who supplies consumables, whether a replacement socket is within the package and what happens during a repair. Resolving those concrete questions makes the financial discussion more useful than debating a headline lifetime total without understanding its parts.
Before agreeing a final prosthetic budget
Ask whether the plan addresses the supported activities, current provision, appropriate alternatives, fitting, associated rehabilitation, servicing, consumables, replacement and contingency. Identify the source of every major assumption. A total that cannot be traced to those components is difficult to evaluate.
Check how prognosis uncertainty affects the plan. If future use is not yet clear, ask what evidence could improve the assessment and whether settlement timing or structure requires further advice. Do not treat a detailed spreadsheet as proof that the underlying medical questions have been resolved.
For broader context, What Determines Your Injury Compensation? explains why injury effects and future financial needs require separate evidence. A prosthetic budget is one component of the case, not the whole award or the amount you will necessarily receive.
A focused enquiry through the amputation injury claims page should include the latest assessment, current device information, quotations and the decision you need advice on. AJS's services are privately funded and legal aid is not offered. Confirm the accepted scope, specialist input and fees before relying on any proposed legal work.
Frequently asked questions
1. Does the most advanced prosthesis always make the strongest claim?
No. The relevant question is suitability for the person's assessed needs and activities, supported by appropriate evidence. Advanced features may be useful in some circumstances and unnecessary or unsuitable in others. Ask what benefit the proposed option is expected to provide, how that was assessed and what additional fitting, training or maintenance requirements accompany it.
2. Can the first prosthesis be used as the basis of a lifetime budget?
It may provide some evidence, but early provision can differ from longer-term needs. Ask which assumptions remain under review and whether later assessment is required. A lifetime model should not simply repeat the first invoice indefinitely. It needs a reasoned account of suitable components, associated services, expected changes and the evidence supporting replacement or review intervals.
3. How often should a prosthesis be replaced?
There is no single interval suitable for every device, component or person. Clinical changes, use, condition, compatibility and supplier support may matter. Obtain advice from the appropriate professionals and identify the basis of any forecast. A warranty expiry, routine review date and expected replacement date are different concepts and should not automatically be treated as the same event.
4. Should I record days when I do not use the device?
Yes, where relevant to the assessment, but include the reason and context. Non-use may relate to clinical advice, repair, another health issue or a choice unrelated to suitability. Avoid interpreting every such day as evidence of failure. A proportionate log should help the clinical team understand actual use without pressuring you to act outside their guidance.
5. Can maintenance and consumables be included in the claim?
They may be relevant where supported and legally recoverable, but the assessment needs actual requirements and cost evidence. Identify what is included in a package, warranty or existing service and what is additional. Do not add a generic annual allowance without explanation. The solicitor should check necessity, duration and overlap with other parts of the equipment budget.
6. Is a supplier quotation enough to establish future prosthetic costs?
Usually it is only part of the evidence. A quote describes an offered product or service and its price, but may not establish clinical suitability, duration of need or the appropriate legal calculation. Ask for a clear scope and supporting recommendation. The claim may require expert assessment to connect the proposed provision with the person's future needs.
7. What should I retain from a prosthetic trial?
Keep the agreed purpose, dates, relevant clinical notes, equipment details and outcome. Record what improved, what remained difficult and the circumstances of use. A short trial may not answer every long-term question. Do not describe the trial item as permanently prescribed unless that decision has been made, and preserve any recommendation for further assessment or follow-up.
8. Does NHS provision prevent a claim for private provision?
The legal assessment is more nuanced than a universal yes or no. Tell the solicitor what has actually been assessed, offered and supplied, and provide reasons for any proposed alternative. Do not omit NHS support or assume a private option is automatically recoverable. The evidence must address the particular need, reasonable provision and applicable damages principles.
9. Should a backup device always be included?
No universal rule applies. A contingency should address an assessed need, such as appropriate support during downtime or a distinct activity requirement. Ask why it is proposed and what alternatives exist. The budget should explain its function and avoid duplicating provision without justification. Clinical suitability and practical consequences matter more than simply counting the number of devices owned.
10. Can I claim extra family help during repairs?
Record the actual additional tasks, duration and reason, along with the repair timeline. Recoverability requires legal assessment and may involve questions about causation, reasonableness and responsibility for the delay. Do not assume every period without equipment produces an identical care requirement. Keep the factual records separate from the later valuation and identify any paid support already provided.
11. What if the recommended product is discontinued?
Ask the relevant professionals to describe the required function and suitable alternatives rather than assuming the same model will remain available indefinitely. Preserve current support and replacement information, including its limits. Future planning should use evidence-based assumptions, not speculative prices for unknown technology. A change in catalogue availability may require reassessment without automatically invalidating the whole rehabilitation plan.
12. Should I buy privately before the insurer agrees?
Discuss significant commitments with your solicitor and clinical team beforehand where possible. Clarify suitability, the contract, payer and any approval being sought. An insurer-funded assessment is not necessarily approval for a purchase, and reimbursement should not be assumed. Urgent clinical needs still require appropriate care, but the funding decision and final damages assessment must remain clearly documented.
13. Are therapy and fitting appointments included in the device price?
That depends on the provider's terms. Ask for a breakdown covering assessment, fitting, adjustments, rehabilitation, reviews, travel and reporting where relevant. Different quotations may include different services. A headline price comparison can therefore be misleading. Keep the accepted terms and identify later changes so actual expenditure and future forecasts are based on the correct package.
14. What if a device works in the clinic but not at home?
Explain the specific difference to the clinical team and ask what further assessment is appropriate. Environment, activity and support may affect use, but do not diagnose the cause yourself or make unapproved modifications. Record the circumstances and any professional response. The claim should reflect the actual evidence rather than treating either one successful demonstration or one difficult experience as conclusive.
15. Can future technological improvements be priced into compensation?
Unsupported speculation should not be treated as an established cost. Ask the appropriate experts and solicitor how current evidence supports future provision and which uncertainties remain. A plan can describe required function without promising a particular future product. The mere possibility of better technology does not provide a reliable price, replacement schedule or legal entitlement to every later innovation.
16. How should I record repairs and servicing?
Keep the date reported, problem described, provider response, work undertaken, cost and period of unavailability. Retain relevant warranty and service documents. Distinguish your observation from a confirmed technical diagnosis. If the item may be evidence in a dispute, ask before disposal or alteration. These records help assess both practical consequences and the basis of any future maintenance assumption.
17. Does using a prosthesis mean I no longer need other equipment?
Not necessarily. The appropriate combination depends on assessed needs, activities and periods when the prosthesis is unsuitable or unavailable. Tell the team what support you actually use and why. Avoid assuming either complete replacement or automatic entitlement to multiple alternatives. The rehabilitation plan should explain how each item contributes and whether functions overlap or complement one another.
18. What if my employment goals change during rehabilitation?
Update the clinical and legal advisers with the actual circumstances. Different duties or environments may affect equipment assessment, but a career preference is not automatically an injury-related requirement. Preserve job information, restrictions and vocational advice where available. The plan should distinguish current work, a realistic supported return and longer-term aspirations so the financial assumptions remain transparent.
19. How can I check a lifetime cost spreadsheet?
Trace each major entry to a clinical recommendation, quotation or explained assumption. Separate current expenses from forecasts and review from replacement. Check for included services, third-party payments and duplicated provision. Ask the solicitor to explain the financial method and remaining uncertainties. Mathematical precision does not compensate for an unsupported clinical premise or an invented component lifespan.
20. What should I send when seeking legal advice about prosthetic costs?
Provide the latest relevant assessment, current equipment list, trial records, quotations, funding correspondence and a concise account of the decision needed. Identify any purchase deadline or existing commitment. Explain who currently represents you. Confirm the firm's accepted work and fee terms before assuming it will commission experts, authorise expenditure or take responsibility for protecting the claim.
