Casey Thomson has scoliosis and needs a specialist bed that won’t fit into her bedroom
A mum whose disabled teenage daughter is in constant pain is pleading with West Lothian Council to give her a bigger house to accommodate specialist equipment.
Andrea is also struggling to manoeuvre a larger wheelchair that Pinewood pupil Casey now uses and fears as her daughter gets older the situation will become worse. She continued: “The council just say there’s nothing and when you get an email, they say they don’t respond to where you are on the waiting list.“There are bungalows getting built at Longridge by Cairn which would have been perfect, but then I’m finding there are people who, fair enough maybe do need to downsize, but they’re fit and healthy and are getting bungalows.“Once Casey turns 18 she loses her bed and I have to re-apply for it all again and she turns 18 in June.
“This applicant is currently a tenant of Cairn Housing Association, and has a live application for housing with West Lothian Council.
