In pictures: Problems of a wheelchair journey

"Many disabled people use their Disability Living Allowance to finance a car,"says Gerri. She depends on her car to get her to work.

"It's just less stressful for me and I know I will arrive on time.

Sometimes I take taxis but always use one particular firm because they don't all have the right cars to take a wheelchair and some won't pick up the disabled as they seem to think we take up too much time."
