Big Changes to Wig Fitting Grants in Ireland
Bellissimo Salon in Galway Explain The Recent Changes
In exciting news for many in Ireland, recent changes to the government allowance for wig fitting are set to make it easier than ever for people to access this important service. Below, our in-house expert Wig Consultant, Linda, talks us through the changes.
What Does This Mean For You?
The allowance for cancer patients has increased from €500 to €770, regardless of whether you hold a medical card, to help cover the cost of a wig or hairpiece. For those undergoing chemotherapy, this significant increase provides greater support as you regain your confidence during a challenging time. For those with alopecia, the allowance remains at €500, and is available exclusively to individuals who hold a current medical card.
This change marks a significant shift in accessibility for those who need wigs, and we’re excited to be part of this positive change at Bellissimo. We want to ensure that you can easily take the next step toward regaining your confidence, and we’re here to make the process as smooth as possible.
