A man said he is barely leaving the house after being "too scared" to charge his electric wheelchair as living costs continue to soar.
Peter Wilson, 54, from Hull, receives benefits including Universal Credit and personal independence payments (PIP). Mr Wilson has had mobility issues for more than a decade after he slipped on a patch of ice 11 years ago and permanently damaged his spine.
His condition has deteriorated over time and he now uses an electric wheelchair, has a stoma bag, and suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis. Mr Wilson currently relies on a pump to pump fluids around his body overnight but charging it daily, along with his wheelchair, is becoming more expensive.
