Work and Income has refused to give a diabetic New Plymouth pensioner a food grant, leaving him and his partner worried for his health.
Barry Fort, 72, has type one diabetes and injects himself with insulin four times a day.
He has been admitted to hospital five times because of his condition, and to keep his glucose levels normal and avoid entering a diabetic coma Mr Fort needs to eat regularly.
