A disabled woman says the cost of living has driven her into debt , as new figures reveal a £1billion shortfall in benefits payments for disabled people.
Charity Scope said that almost 3million disabled people are losing out on £367 a year on average in benefits support - adding up to a staggering £1billion.
That is because government only raised benefits payments by 3.1% from April 11, but the cost of living has eaten up that increase.
