Cameron Mathieson's family wins disability benefit ruling

A family has won its legal bid to challenge limits on welfare payments to severely disabled children in hospital.

Benefits for Cameron Mathieson, five, stopped after he spent more than 12 weeks in Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool.

On Wednesday, Supreme Court judges agreed the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) had been "grossly unfair" when it stopped his payments after 84 days.
