Dudley mum of sons with autism hospitalised due to fears of losing disability PIP funding

A mother with two sons with autism has said the government’s planned welfare changes would devastate her family’s future. Lorraine Griffin, from Dudley, relies on the Disability Living Allowance for her boys, Sam and Ben, aged 12 and 13. Lorraine faces constant costs – medicine, nappies for Ben, who has more severe autism, and replacing TVs he has broken.
