:01:15. > :01:18.The Independent Police Complaints Commission has asked the force for

:05:36. > :05:39.receiving for her daughter Tiffany. She now says she's having to choose
:05:40. > :05:42.between heating her home or eating, but the government says it's

:05:54. > :05:57.heart and faces surgery. Her mother says her condition need constant
:05:58. > :06:02.monitoring. She spends a huge amount keeping the House won
:06:03. > :06:06.because her daughter has a weak immune system. They are now going
:06:07. > :06:10.to lose ?200 a month because it has been judged Tiffany does not need
:06:11. > :06:17.more than one hour's care per day. She did not choose to be ill. She
:06:18. > :06:21.did not choose to have what is wrong with her wrong with her. If I
:06:22. > :06:26.could tear out my own heart and give it to her so she would have a
:06:27. > :06:32.working heart I would do that in a second. Disability living allowance
:06:33. > :06:38.is designed for children who need more looking after than similar
:06:39. > :06:44.children of the same age. It varies from back ?21 to ?134 per week but
:06:45. > :06:49.the government was looking to save ?420 million in England in changes
:06:50. > :06:54.to benefits. Disability living allowance is there to cover the
:06:55. > :06:57.extra burden of dealing with disability. If the government want
:06:58. > :07:01.to do something about people struggling with their heating bills
:07:02. > :07:06.they could scrap many policies that make life more expensive. The
:07:07. > :07:10.Department of work and pensions told us the disability and living
:07:11. > :07:14.allowance isn't generally paid on the condition someone has but on
:07:15. > :07:19.their care needs and if people aren't happy with decisions reached
:07:20. > :07:28.they can appeal. Katherine's MP is now raising the case with the
:07:29. > :07:33.Minister. The appeal against her `` against the decision will take a
:07:34. > :07:38.year. For a year, she and others in the same position will not get any
:07:39. > :07:43.help or benefits. Some say that you have to make difficult choices when
:07:44. > :07:49.it comes to the benefit system. The benefits are for her, not me. The
