Cutbacks to leave disabled man without care
Cutbacks to leave man without care?
Andrew Battenberg of Woodhall Spa
A DISABLED man deemed homeless could be left without social care provided by Lincolnshire County Council.
Andrew Battenberg, of Stixwould Road, Woodhall Spa, said the county council has threatened to remove his Lincolnshire Assessment and Reablement Service (LARS) care, and he will have to replace it with direct payments to the NHS or engage with other care services.
LARS provides care to a large number of families in the area who could also be affected.
Andrew was involved in a serious car accident in 2009 and, as a result, needed to make necessary changes to make his Woodhall Spa home accessible.

“Services for the disabled and elderly will be scaled back in ways that will really affect people’s lives.
UNION bosses have warned that front line services will be right in the firing line thanks to multi-million pound cuts.
EDUCATION, social work and cleansing services will all be hammered by the brutal £50million cuts at Scotland’s biggest council.
Public sector workers’ union Unison last night said it would be crazy to think the axe will not fall on the frontline.
Glasgow City Council have said they will have to make the cuts over the next two years. It will mean 1000 jobs going by 2015 on top of 3000 staff who have left since 2010.
