Raegan Furness with her daughter Kacie-rae - Raegan fears cuts announced in the Budget could see her lose her van she needs to transport her daughter

Raegan Furness, 38, is a full-time carer to Amelia-Star, 13, who has ADHD, and Kacie-Rae, nine, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.

The single mum claims Universal Credit as well as Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for both children.

Disabled people who have a car through the Motability scheme will no longer be allowed “premium” vehicles such as BMWs and Mercedes, with immediate effect. Critics had called for changes to the scheme which allows eligible disabled people to lease adaptable cars.
