A 7-year-old Cambridge boy is battling with a devastating cancer – but his disability benefits have been stopped forcing his mother to go without food.

And devoted mum Ruth Miller, 39, has faced eviction and struggles to pay for heating as she and her husband Kevin, 42, of Thorpe Way, Abbey, have been battling with the Department for Works and Pensions (DWP) since May for disability living allowance for their son Tommi.

The couple, who have a daughter Kacey, 8, and 16-year-old Kharis, have been forced to give up their jobs to care for Tommi but have been left to struggle without the allowance.

Little Tommi faces another two years of gruelling chemotherapy because the devastating condition returned in September after he was given the all clear in May.
