stairlift

Prosecutor Andrew Jones said she had suffered serious health and mobility issues, and used a stairlift and a Zimmer frame inside her house.

Claire's spinal injury means she isn't able to help Emilia into a stairlift and so, in July 2022, the family - who are Housing Association tenants - were assessed as requiring an extension for a downstairs bedroom and shower room.

Mia’s block of flats has no lift, and a request to install a stairlift has been delayed for months as the housing association questions whether it would be a fire hazard.

It means she has been unable to fund a stairlift.

A disabled woman has won damages after her local authority took almost a year to decide on an application for a stairlift in her home.
