Our client is a single father to a six year old child. Following an intrusion into his house, he is in need of a replacement cooker and washing machine. He has been found to have limited capability to work, and is currently in receipt of Universal Credit, so is struggling with limited funds. Our client is suffering with mental health issues and, without a cooker to heat food and a washing machine to clean their clothes independently, this is further impacting his health and well-being.
