Disabled girl faces losing her lifeline - Health - Shields Gazette

Disabled girl faces losing her lifeline - Health - Shields Gazette:

"A SOUTH Tyneside mum claims her eight-year-old disabled daughter will be stranded if a Mobility car is taken away.

Little Amarni Gibson suffers from the rare genetic condition Williams syndrome, which means she is hooked up to a feeding machine 20 hours a day because she can’t eat food.

But the Department of Work and Pensions has told the family they can no longer have the VW Golf – because they no longer consider Amarni to be disabled enough to qualify for it."
