A disabled Scots mum says she is "trapped" in her own home and even has to rely on her husband to carry her up the stairs. Rebecca Kelly, 34, has told how she even has to crawl through ice to get to her front door in winter because the parking space is so far away from her home in Loanhead, Midlothian.

The mum-of-one also relies on her husband to cook, clean and help her have a bath due to an inaccessible home which has "stolen her dignity".

Rebecca, who has cerebral palsy, cannot move around her house - yet her efforts to buy a suitable home through a Scottish Government scheme have been frustrated.
