Disabled tenant sleeps in armchair

A disabled pensioner of 73 is sleeping in an armchair because of a lack of suitable housing association homes for disabled people in her area. Mrs Cunningham was moved from one flat after being told it was unsuitable and placed in another property that was deemed unsuitable for a wheelchair user. Torbay council says it has around 200 applications and takes up to 34 weeks to process the available Disabled Facilities Grant to update her accommodation.
