Disabled man 'literally begging' for carers as he cannot afford to pay for level of support he needs

A disabled man says he is 'literally begging' for carers as he cannot afford to pay for the level of care he requires. Imraan Adam, 35, says the council has refused to increase his care payment package.

Derbyshire Live reports that the 35-year-old suffers from cerebral palsy and is unable to walk. He says that he requires more financial help from Derby City Council so that he can maintain the levels of care he needs 24/7.

Mr Adam currently receives £96,600 per year, but feels this is not enough for the daily support that he requires. The Derbyshire resident says he feels “abandoned” and “neglected” by the authority.
