Lifeline cut off

i WAS surprised when it was revealed that the head of the taxpayer-funded Motability scheme, aimed at helping disabled people with mobility problems, was paid £1.7 million.

A young friend who has been disabled all her life and has fought to live independently has just been told she will lose her Motability car.

it is her lifeline and without it she will have to rely on others if she needs to venture out.

in one cruel stroke, this brave lady has been turned into something she’s never wanted to be: needy.
