Rachel McCairns, from Stockon-on-Tees, said she faces eviction after her previous benefits were stopped because she failed to “score enough points”
An amputee who had her disability benefits stopped says she risks being evicted from her flat with just 80p to her name. Diabetic Rachel McCairns, from Roseworth in Stockton-on-Tees, has managed to learn how to walk on a prosthetic leg and find herself a job since the amputation five years ago.
