The Complete UK Guide to Riser Recliner Chairs

Getting older or living with limited mobility shouldn't mean giving up your comfort and independence at home. If you've ever struggled to get up from a standard armchair, or know someone who has, then you've probably already heard about riser recliner chairs. But with so many options out there, it can feel a little overwhelming trying to figure out where to even begin.

That's exactly why we've put together this complete UK guide. Whether you're buying for yourself or helping a loved one find the right solution, we're going to walk you through everything you need to know in simple, straightforward terms. No confusing jargon, no complicated technical talk, just honest and helpful information.

In this guide, you'll discover how riser recliner chairs actually work, what features to look out for, how to choose the right size and style, and where to find the best deals in the UK. By the time you're done reading, you'll feel confident and informed enough to make the best possible choice. So let's get started!

What Is a Riser Recliner Chair and Who Are They For?

Let's start with the basics. A riser recliner chair is a motorised armchair that does two clever things. At the press of a button, it gently tilts the entire seat forward and upward, guiding you into a near-standing position without any straining or struggling. Press the button again, and it reclines smoothly backwards so you can rest, read, or simply relax in comfort. It sounds simple, and in many ways it is. That simplicity is exactly what makes it so valuable.

You might be wondering how this differs from a standard recliner. A regular recliner can lean back, yes, but when it comes to getting up again, you're on your own. You have to push up with your legs from a low, deep seat, which puts real strain on your knees, hips, and back. For anyone with weakened leg muscles, that moment of standing up is where falls and injuries happen. A riser recliner removes that risk entirely. The powered lift mechanism does the physical work for you, which is a genuinely meaningful difference for safety and day-to-day independence. You can read more about the benefits of lift chairs and recliners for seniors and people with disabilities to understand just how wide-ranging those benefits can be.

So who are these chairs actually for? The honest answer is quite a wide range of people.

• Older adults with reduced leg strength who find getting up from a normal chair increasingly difficult

• People recovering from hip or knee surgery, where controlled, gradual movement protects the healing joint

• Those living with arthritis, as the lift function reduces the painful pressure that standing from a low seat creates

• People with Parkinson's disease, where unpredictable muscle control makes unassisted standing genuinely hazardous

• 
  

If any of that sounds familiar for you or someone you love, it's worth knowing you're far from alone. There are advantages to recliner chairs for the elderly that go well beyond physical comfort, including greater confidence and peace of mind for family members too.

Choosing a riser recliner is often a meaningful step, and we think that's something to feel genuinely positive about. It's not about giving something up; it's about holding onto your independence and your comfort in your own home. That's a goal worth supporting.

This connects to something much bigger happening right across the UK. More and more people are choosing to stay in their own homes as they get older, rather than moving into residential care. Good furniture, the right adaptations, and practical daily support make that possible in a way it simply wasn't a generation ago. A riser recliner chair is one of the most straightforward and effective ways to make home life safer, more comfortable, and more sustainable for the long term.

Single, Dual, and Triple Motor: What Does It Actually Mean?

Once you understand what a riser recliner chair actually does, the next question most people have is: why are there different motor options, and does it really matter? The short answer is yes, it does matter, but it is not as complicated as it sounds. Let us break it down in plain English.

Single Motor: Simple, Reliable, and Great for Most Basic Needs

A single motor chair uses one motor to control both the backrest and the footrest together. When you press the button to recline, both parts move at the same time as a linked, coordinated action. You cannot adjust one without the other moving too. This simplicity is actually a genuine advantage for many people. There are fewer controls to think about, the chair is mechanically straightforward, and it tends to be the most affordable option in the riser recliner range. If your main goal is getting a gentle assisted rise to help you stand up safely, or settling into a comfortable reclined position for watching television, a single motor chair does exactly what you need without any fuss.

Dual Motor: The Most Popular Choice for Good Reason

A dual motor chair has two separate motors, one for the backrest and one for the footrest, letting you adjust each one independently. Want to raise your feet while sitting upright? No problem. Want to recline your back while keeping your feet at a lower angle? You can do that too. This flexibility makes a real difference over the course of a day, especially for people managing conditions like oedema, poor circulation, or arthritis, where finding just the right position can ease discomfort significantly. It is no surprise that dual motor riser recliners hold around 42% of the global market, the largest share of any configuration. For most everyday users, dual motor is the sweet spot between simplicity and comfort.

Triple Motor: Precision Support for Specific Conditions

A triple motor chair adds a third independent motor, usually dedicated to adjusting the headrest or lumbar support separately from the backrest and footrest. This level of precise positioning is particularly valuable for people living with chronic back pain, neck conditions like cervical spondylosis, or those recovering from spinal surgery. If you have been advised by an occupational therapist or GP to pay close attention to your head and neck positioning, a triple motor chair gives you that granular control. For most people it is not necessary, but for those who genuinely need it, it can make a meaningful difference to daily comfort and wellbeing.

So Which Motor Type Is Right for You?

Here is a simple way to think about it. Choose a single motor if your priority is the rise-and-recline function and you are happy with a straightforward, budget-friendly option. Choose a dual motor if you want more flexibility in how you sit throughout the day, which suits the majority of users. Choose a triple motor if you have specific neck, shoulder, or back conditions that require very precise, independent head or lumbar positioning.

One important thing to reassure yourself about: the number of motors has absolutely no effect on the strength or safety of the lift mechanism itself. The gentle forward tilt that helps you stand works just as reliably on a single motor chair as it does on a triple motor one. Choosing a simpler motor configuration is not a compromise on quality; it is simply about matching the chair to your personal comfort needs.

How to Choose the Right Size Riser Recliner Chair

Sizing is one of those things that most people don't think about until something goes wrong, and with riser recliner chairs, getting it wrong can genuinely affect how safe and useful the chair is. This isn't just about comfort. A chair that is too deep in the seat, for example, can force you to perch on the edge rather than sit fully back. When that happens, the lift mechanism tilts you forward from the wrong position, making it harder to stand rather than easier. A seat that is too high leaves your feet hovering off the floor, which removes the stable base you need to push up safely. So before you even think about fabric colours or motor options, it is worth spending five minutes with a tape measure.

The Four Measurements That Actually Matter

Here is what you need to measure, explained as simply as possible:

Seat height is the distance from the floor to the back of your knee when you are sitting. This tells you how high the seat pan should be so your feet rest flat on the floor. Most chairs range between 16 and 22 inches in seat height, so knowing your measurement helps narrow things down quickly.

Seat depth is the distance from the back of your knee to your lower back when seated. You want two or three finger-widths of space between the front edge of the seat and the back of your knee. Too much depth and you cannot sit fully back; too little and the seat puts uncomfortable pressure on your thighs.

Seat width should be roughly your hip width plus a small amount of clearance on each side, usually around an inch or two. You need enough room to move comfortably, but not so much that you lose the side support that helps during the rising motion.

Height and weight together determine which size category you fall into and whether a standard weight capacity is sufficient. Most standard riser recliners support up to around 18 to 20 stone. If that does not apply, a bariatric model will be needed.

You can find a helpful walkthrough of exactly how to take these measurements at Measuring for a Riser Recliner Chair: a Step by Step Guide.

Understanding the Sizing Categories

Most riser recliner chairs fall into one of four size categories:

• Petite suits users typically under 5'3". These chairs have a shallower seat depth and lower seat height, so smaller frames are properly supported rather than swamped by the chair.

• Standard covers the most common height range, roughly 5'3" to 5'10", and is the size most chairs default to unless stated otherwise.

• Tall is designed for users over around 5'10". The seat depth is longer, and the backrest is higher to support the full length of the torso and legs properly.

• Bariatric or large chairs are built for users with a wider build or higher body weight, with reinforced frames and wider seat pans. Weight capacities typically start at around 25 stone and can go considerably higher for specialist models.

  
  

Don't Forget the Room Itself

One thing buyers regularly overlook is the space the chair actually needs to function. When a riser recliner reclines fully, it can extend 12 to 24 inches beyond its seated footprint. Wall-hugger models need only a few inches of clearance behind them, but traditional recline mechanisms need considerably more. You should also leave space on the sides for comfortable access. Measure your available floor space before ordering, including the extended depth of the chair when fully reclined.

When in Doubt, Just Ask

Product pages can only tell you so much. If you are unsure which size is right, or if a particular health condition might affect what you need, it is always worth speaking to someone who knows the range well. At You First Chairs, we are always happy to help with sizing questions by phone or email. A quick conversation can save a lot of hassle, and we would much rather help you get it right first time than have you end up with a chair that does not work for you.

Fabric or Leather? Choosing the Right Upholstery for Your Needs

Once you have the size and motor configuration sorted, the next big decision is upholstery, and it genuinely matters more than most people expect. The material covering your riser recliner affects how it feels, how easy it is to keep clean, and how it looks sitting in your living room every day.

The Case for Fabric

Fabric is the most popular choice, and it is easy to understand why. It feels soft and warm to the touch, which is especially appreciated by older users who find cool surfaces uncomfortable, particularly first thing in the morning or in the winter months. Fabric also comes in a far wider range of colours, textures, and patterns than leather, so if you want your chair to blend into your existing décor rather than stand out, fabric gives you far more to work with. For long periods of sitting, many people find fabric more comfortable because it breathes more naturally and has a gentler feel against the skin. It also tends to be the more budget-friendly option, which is worth knowing if you are comparing choices side by side.

The Case for Leather and Leather-Effect

Leather upholstery brings its own set of advantages, and for some users it is simply the better practical choice. The biggest benefit is how easy it is to clean. A damp cloth wipes most marks away in seconds, which makes a real difference in day-to-day life. Leather-effect fabrics, sometimes called PU leather or bonded leather, offer nearly all the same wipe-clean benefits at a more accessible price point, so you do not need to spend a premium to get that practicality. Leather and leather-effect chairs also tend to look sleek and considered in a modern home, more like a deliberate style choice than a mobility aid.

A Word on Hygiene

This is something a good retailer should raise openly, so here it is. For users who experience perspiration or incontinence, fabric upholstery can be harder to manage over time. Certain fabrics absorb moisture and can mark or retain odour even with regular care. In those situations, a leather-effect chair is simply the more sensible, hygienic option, and there is absolutely nothing unusual about factoring that into your decision.

Style Matters Too

There is a growing trend for riser recliners that look like everyday furniture, not medical equipment, and upholstery plays a huge role in that. At You First Chairs, we stock a range of both fabric and leather-effect options across our chair range, so you genuinely do not have to choose between a chair that works well and one that looks good in your home.

VAT Relief on Riser Recliner Chairs: Could You Pay Zero Tax?

Here is something that genuinely surprises a lot of people when they first hear it: if you have a disability or a long-term health condition, you may be entitled to buy your riser recliner chair completely free of VAT. Not a discount, not a cashback scheme, not a voucher. Simply no 20% VAT added to the price at all. It is a UK government provision that has been in place for years, and yet many eligible buyers either do not know about it or assume it will be complicated to claim. It really is not.

Who Actually Qualifies?

HMRC's definition of a "disabled person" for VAT relief purposes is broader than most people expect. You do not need to receive disability benefits or have an official medical certificate. According to HMRC's VAT Notice 701/7, you qualify if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a long-term and substantial adverse effect on your ability to carry out everyday activities, or if you have a condition that the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness. In plain terms, this covers a very wide range of conditions. Arthritis, Parkinson's disease, MS, COPD, heart failure, post-surgical mobility impairment, and many other conditions that affect how you move around day to day would all typically fall within scope. Age alone is not sufficient, but for most people enquiring about a riser recliner chair, a qualifying condition is usually already present.

How the Process Actually Works

This is the part that tends to put people off, and honestly, it should not. There is no GP letter to obtain, no means test to pass, and no application to send to HMRC. You simply complete a short self-certification declaration at the point of purchase. The declaration asks for your name, address, a brief description of your condition, and confirmation that the chair is for your personal use. That is it. A family member or carer can complete it on your behalf if needed. You can read more about how VAT exemption works for riser recliner chairs if you want a detailed overview before buying.

What Does the Saving Actually Look Like?

The numbers are genuinely worth paying attention to. On a riser recliner priced at £1,500 including VAT, you would save £250. On a chair priced at £2,400, the saving rises to £400. That is real money back in your pocket, simply by completing a short form you are fully entitled to complete.

At You First Chairs, we include the VAT relief declaration as a standard part of the ordering process for every eligible customer. You will not need to chase it up or figure it out yourself; we guide you through it so you claim exactly what you are entitled to, without any fuss.

NHS and Occupational Therapist Referrals: How the Process Works

Many people come to riser recliner chairs not through a Google search, but through a conversation with their GP, physiotherapist, or occupational therapist. This is actually one of the most common starting points for the buying journey in the UK, and if this sounds familiar to you, you are in good company. A health professional may have mentioned that a riser recliner could help with standing up safely, managing pain, or maintaining independence at home. That recommendation carries real weight, and it is a perfectly natural way to begin exploring your options.

What Happens During an OT Assessment?

An occupational therapist, often called an OT, is a trained professional whose job is to help people carry out everyday activities as safely and comfortably as possible. When it comes to seating and mobility, an OT will usually visit you at home to carry out a proper assessment in your own environment. They will look at how you currently move between sitting and standing, assess your posture and how your body is supported when seated, and ask about your daily routine, including how long you spend in a chair and what you do while you are there. Based on all of that, they may recommend specific chair features, such as whether you need a single or dual motor, a particular seat height or depth, extra lumbar support, or a headrest. It is a thorough and practical process, and the output is genuinely useful.

NHS-Provided vs. Privately Purchased: What Is the Difference?

This is where it is important to understand your options clearly. If the NHS funds a chair for you through the referral process, it will typically be a functional, no-frills model chosen to meet your clinical needs rather than your personal preferences. You will have little or no say over the fabric, colour, or specific features. That said, it is free, which is obviously a significant benefit for many people.

If, on the other hand, your OT recommends a riser recliner but you choose to purchase privately, you have full control. You can choose the model, the fabric, the motor configuration, and any additional features that suit your lifestyle and your home. You can also explore NHS funding for specialist recliners as a starting point for understanding how that pathway works, and then decide whether the private route gives you more of what you need.

Using an OT Recommendation as Your Shopping Guide

Here is something worth knowing: an OT recommendation is not just a clinical document. It is essentially a product specification. The seat height, weight capacity, motor type, and support requirements that an OT identifies translate directly into features you can match against chairs available to buy. At You First Chairs, we are always happy to go through an OT recommendation with you and help identify which chairs in our range best match those requirements. Just give us a call or drop us a message and we will talk it through with you properly.

No OT Referral? That Is Absolutely Fine Too

Not everyone has had a formal OT assessment, and that does not mean you cannot make an equally well-informed decision. The guidance throughout this article covers the same key considerations that an OT would look at: sizing, motor type, postural support, and fabric. You can use all of that to build your own specification. And if you ever feel unsure, our friendly team is here to help you work through it, no referral required.

Heating, Massage, USB Charging: What Modern Riser Recliners Can Do

Riser recliner chairs have come a long way from the plain, clinical-looking equipment you might associate with hospital waiting rooms. Today, a growing number of models come packed with features that make them genuinely comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable to use every day at home. This reflects a wider shift in the market: these chairs are now designed as proper living room furniture first, with the mobility support built in rather than bolted on.

Heat and Massage: More Than Just a Nice Touch

Built-in heat is one of the most popular add-on features, and for good reason. Gentle lumbar heat can help ease stiffness and discomfort, particularly for people living with arthritis or lower back pain. Arthritis UK and many physiotherapists widely recognise warmth as a simple way to ease tight, aching joints, and having that warmth available at the press of a button, without needing a separate heat pad or hot water bottle, is genuinely useful. Most heat functions on riser recliners target the lower back and thighs, which are exactly the areas that benefit most.

Massage functions vary quite a bit depending on the chair. Some models offer basic vibration across the seat and back, which is soothing without being particularly targeted. Others offer zone-specific massage, letting you focus on the lumbar area, the shoulders, or the legs independently, sometimes with variable intensity settings and built-in timers. If you find massage genuinely helps your muscles relax, a more advanced system is worth considering. If you are simply curious but not sure you will use it regularly, a basic vibration function is fine and will not add dramatically to the cost.

USB Ports and Side Pockets: Small Details That Matter

It might not sound exciting, but USB charging ports and built-in side pockets are genuinely practical features for everyday life. Being able to charge your phone or tablet without leaning over to reach a socket reduces unnecessary stretching and the risk of losing balance. Side pockets keep your remote controls, glasses, and phone within easy reach. For anyone who spends significant time in their chair, these small conveniences add up.

Handset Design: Easy to Overlook, Important to Get Right

The handset is how you control everything, so it is worth paying attention to. Wired handsets are the most common and are straightforward to use, though the cable can occasionally get tangled. Wireless handsets offer more freedom of movement but need to be kept charged and can be misplaced more easily. For users with limited grip strength or reduced dexterity, the physical design of the handset matters as much as the technology. Look for large, clearly labelled buttons with good contrast and a comfortable shape to hold. Some handsets are much better designed for this than others, so it is always worth asking to see the handset before you buy.

When Are Extras Actually Worth It?

Our honest advice is this: buy extras because you will genuinely use them, not because they are listed in the features. Heat and massage are worth considering if you already use heat therapy or find massage helps your muscles. USB ports are worth having if you regularly use a phone or tablet while seated. If someone living alone or with limited mobility will be using the chair, anything that reduces unnecessary reaching or moving around is a sensible investment. If a feature adds significant cost but does not match your day-to-day needs, it is perfectly fine to leave it out.

Aftercare, Warranty, and Servicing: Questions Worth Asking Before You Buy

Most people spend a lot of time thinking about which chair to buy and very little time thinking about what happens after it arrives. For a riser recliner chair, that afterthought can become a real problem. Unlike a standard sofa or armchair, a riser recliner is a mechanical product with a motor, a handset, moving parts, and a frame that all work together every single day. If any one of those components develops a fault, you need a clear route to get it sorted quickly, because for many users this chair is not a luxury item. It is how they get in and out of their seat safely.

What a Good Warranty Actually Covers

A solid warranty for a riser recliner chair should cover three separate things, and it is worth asking about each one individually. First, the motor and mechanism: reputable chairs typically carry a warranty of two to five years on the motor and moving parts, with three years being a common benchmark among established UK suppliers. Second, the frame: some manufacturers offer longer or even lifetime cover on the structural frame, which is worth confirming. Third, the fabric or upholstery: this is usually covered for a shorter period and may exclude everyday wear.

One important question to ask is whether the warranty covers parts only, parts and labour, or parts, labour, and call-out. Those three options can mean very different things when you actually need to make a claim, and the real-world cost difference can be significant.

Replacement Parts, Servicing, and Fault Resolution

Before you buy, ask two straightforward questions: can the motor be repaired or replaced once the warranty period ends, and is there a UK-based service team available to help? Handsets are a particularly common failure point in electric riser recliners, yet they are rarely mentioned in warranty literature. Knowing whether a replacement handset is readily available and affordable can save a lot of stress later on.

It is also worth understanding what happens if a fault develops. Is the repair carried out at home, or does the chair need to be collected? Who do you contact, the retailer or a third-party service agent? At You First Chairs, we provide clear aftercare guidance with every order, so our customers always know exactly what to do and who to call if something needs attention.

Treat These Questions as Completely Normal

Asking about aftercare is not awkward or excessive. It is as reasonable as asking about delivery times or available fabrics. If a retailer cannot give you a clear answer about what their warranty covers, whether they have a UK service team, or how a fault gets resolved, that is useful information in itself. A good retailer should be able to answer these questions confidently and without hesitation, because they have thought through the full customer journey, not just the sale.

Why Local Delivery and a Home Trial Make a Real Difference

Let's be honest: ordering a large, heavy piece of furniture online is always a bit of a leap of faith. With a riser recliner chair, that leap matters more than most. These chairs can weigh anywhere from 35kg to over 60kg depending on the model, and they are designed for people who already find movement challenging. A standard courier dropping a flat-pack box at your front door and driving off is simply not good enough for this kind of purchase, and it is worth knowing exactly what you should expect instead.

What a Proper Riser Recliner Delivery Should Look Like

A genuinely helpful delivery for a riser recliner chair involves quite a bit more than just getting it through the front door. The chair should be brought to the room where it will actually live, assembled if it has arrived in parts, and then properly demonstrated. That means walking the user through every function: how the rise mechanism works, how to use the handset, how to recline safely, and how to return the chair to an upright position. It also means checking that the chair is positioned correctly in the room, because most models need 30 to 45cm of clear space behind the backrest when fully reclined. Getting that wrong could mean the footrest catches a wall or the chair cannot reach its full position, which defeats the whole purpose.

Why Trying It at Home Changes Everything

There is something that a showroom visit or a set of product photos simply cannot tell you: how the chair fits in your actual space, with your actual body, in your actual home. Seat height, seat depth, lumbar support, armrest positioning, all of these need to be assessed with the real user sitting in the chair. Beyond fit, there is the question of confidence. For someone who is less familiar with powered furniture, practising the handset controls in their own familiar surroundings, without any pressure, makes a huge difference to how quickly they feel comfortable using the chair independently.

A Personal Service, Not a Parcel Drop

At You First Chairs, we are a family-run business based in Worthing, West Sussex, and local delivery with a personal touch is something we genuinely care about. We are not a national warehouse dispatching hundreds of orders a week with no idea who is on the receiving end. When we deliver a riser recliner chair, we take the time to make sure everything is right for that specific customer, because we know that for many of our customers, this chair will make a real daily difference to their independence and confidence at home.

If you are also thinking about an adjustable bed as part of making your home more comfortable and supportive, our delivery visit is a great opportunity to talk that through too. Riser recliners and adjustable beds go hand in hand for many of our customers, and we are happy to help you consider both together. You can also find helpful information about riser recliner chairs for senior care if you want to read more about how these products support independence at home.

How Much Do Riser Recliner Chairs Cost in the UK?

Riser recliner chairs sit across a fairly wide price spectrum in the UK, so it helps to know what to expect before you start looking. As a rough guide, there are three main tiers to be aware of.

Entry-level single motor chairs typically fall in the region of under £800. These chairs will do the basics, but they often come with limited size options, fewer fabric choices, and shorter warranties. They can work for occasional use, but if someone is relying on a chair every single day as a mobility aid, this tier can struggle to deliver long-term.

Mid-range single or dual motor chairs tend to sit in the £1200 to £2,400 bracket, and this is where most buyers find a good balance of quality, comfort, and features. You generally get better upholstery, more sizing options, and warranties of two years or more in this range.

Premium or feature-rich models, including triple motor chairs and made-to-measure options, typically start from around £1,800 and can extend to £2,500 or more. At this level, you are paying for things like independent headrest and lumbar control, heat and massage functions, higher weight capacities, and premium upholstery finishes.

What Makes One Chair More Expensive Than Another?

Several things push the price up. Motor configuration is a big one; dual motor chairs allow independent control of the back and footrest, which is genuinely more useful than a single motor. Weight capacity matters too, as chairs built for heavier users require reinforced frames and more powerful motors. Upholstery quality, whether fabric or leather, standard or premium grade, plays a role. So do added features like USB charging, heat and massage, and pocket-sprung seating.

A Word on Pricing Transparency

It is worth mentioning that the riser recliner category has a bit of a history with inflated "was/now" pricing, where a chair appears to be a bargain against an artificially high original price. It is a tactic that has understandably left some buyers feeling misled. At You First Chairs, we do not do that. The price you see is the real price, with no manufactured discounting designed to create a false sense of urgency or savings.

Do Not Forget Your VAT Relief

As covered earlier in this guide, eligible buyers can claim VAT relief on their purchase, which removes the 20% tax entirely. On a chair priced at £1,500, that is a saving of £250. On a £2,000 chair, you save £333. That is a meaningful shift in what you actually pay out of pocket, and it can move a mid-range chair comfortably into reach for many buyers.

Value vs. False Economy

The cheapest chair is rarely the smartest buy when it is being used daily by someone depending on it for safe, independent standing and sitting. A chair that does not fit properly, lacks the right motor configuration, or breaks down within a year is not a saving; it is an added problem. Investing a little more upfront in the right chair, correctly sized and properly specified, tends to pay off in comfort, safety, and reliability over time.

Ready to Find the Right Chair? Here Is Where to Start

If you have made it this far, you already have a solid understanding of what goes into choosing the right riser recliner chair. The key decisions come down to five things: motor type, size and fit, upholstery, additional features, and your budget. Getting each of these right means your chair will genuinely work for your life, not just sit in the corner looking the part.

Before you buy, please do check whether you qualify for VAT relief on mobility furniture. For people with a long-term condition or disability, this removes 20% from the price, which is a meaningful saving, especially on mid-range or premium models.

If your GP or occupational therapist has made a recommendation, bring those details with you. Specified seat dimensions, tilt requirements, and pressure relief notes make the matching process far more accurate and can support your VAT relief claim too.
