Kailee Kember-Brown , a wheelchair user, is currently entitled to a top-up to her Universal Credit income because of her disability.

The 19-year-old says she has applied for more than 40 jobs without success.

Government plans to cut Universal Credit health top up for under-22s with long-term illnesses or disabilities as part of welfare reform proposals.

Labour MPs have signed an amendment calling for the proposals to be scrapped.
