I got a back injury on the job which makes it difficult to get in and out of my bathtub. I found a great deal on a Walk in Bathtub (tall tub with a door on it and a built in seat) at www.independentlivingusa.com but Workers Comp. is making me jump through some pretty tough hoops to get them to pay for it.
Does anyone know if it is worth all the red tape to try to get one?

I figured I was going to use it at least once everyday so I spent the money from my savings. After almost 4 months of using my walk in tub I can tell you that I wish I had bought it 10 years ago. To say I LOVE my baths now would be an understatement. Like I told a lot of my friends I don't care how you get one... just get one. Best ones are the ones with real heated Hydrotherapy. I did get mine from www.independentlivingusa.com and they seem to have the best selection of them. They helped me pick the right one for my personal needs. I got one of the better models they had and I am glad I spent the few extra dollars. Just get one. If you're going to worry over money instead of your health and independence then you are worrying about the wrong thing.

Be careful and get the right one for you. Some of the older peoples residential homes I've been in have walk in baths and the resident has to sit there while all the water drains away - don't know if they're all like that - perhps this won't bother you. However, if you love baths and can't get in the usual bath shape worth considering, or perhaps something to help you over the side of your existing bath? There's various websites which have loads of equipment for assisting people around the home. I usually find something through google. If you know an Occuaptional Therapist ask them for help.

Just as a warning
A message very much like this one has appeared on various message boards, had a call from our IT guys who tells me that when you go on the link it can download a virus or get your details from your computer
