 Contact a Family has published the results of a survey looking at the financial situation of families with a disabled child in the UK.
Key findings include:
One in six disabled children lives in a household struggling to afford food and heating
Almost half of families have borrowed money from friends and family, with one in five using the cash to pay their heating bills
One in 14 children with a disability or medical condition is living under threat of losing their home.
