Disabled Scots woman may be forced to move into care home due to rocketing energy bills

A 23-year-old disabled woman may have to move in with OAPs at a nursing home as she can’t afford to pay for electricity to power her life-saving equipment.

Lizzie Ferguson, who is paraplegic, gets in excess of £800 in benefits each month but her energy bill is rocketing from £100 per month to more than £700.

She needs a breathing machine to help her sleep and her social worker has confirmed a place is available at Greenfield Park Care Home, near her home in Ruchazie, Glasgow.
