A disabled man claims he is facing homelessness when funding for his care home ends next month. Andrew Tribe - who is currently living in a care home in Bristol - says he has been told Devon Council will stop paying for his care home on November 4 as he was found not to need full-time care following an assessment.
However, the 63-year-old said his condition has deteriorated since the assessment was done and that he needs care. Devon County Council said it is working with Mr Tribe and local authority partners to resolve the issue.
Mr Tribe said he has been suffering with chronic back pain since 2007 after a fall during an epileptic fit. He said these days he has mobility problems and needs a four-wheel walking frame to get around.
