A disabled man was left "wasting away" after being blocked from his own finances for almost 12 months.
The family of David Darlington, 65, a disabled pensioner from Crewe, said that he was been blocked from his finances and had his benefits cut after he used money from his savings to buy a caravan. David has now been left on £60 a week, despite having £16,000 of his own money, earned from previous work, in savings which he can't access.
David is now a "prisoner in his own home" due to the incident, which happened in 2021. His nephew, Mark Gibson, told CheshireLive: "All he wanted was a caravan in Rhyl. He didn't want a trip to Las Vegas.
