'We're going to have to spend extortionate fees to access his own money' Birmingham mum locked out of disabled son's trust fund
A Birmingham mum says her son has been locked out of his savings account - because he's disabled.
She says the system to support parents is 'completely broken'.
Ramandeep Kaur lives in Sutton Coldfield with her three teenage boys. Her middle child, 15-year-old Harry, has Down Syndrome.
She set up Child Trust Funds for all three after they were born, but she's only having trouble accessing Harry's account.
He has 7 thousand pounds in there but because he's unable to manage the money himself - his mum is going to court to release it - a move that will cost her 拢1,000 in legal fees.
Our reporter Laura Chiverton has been to meet Ramandeep.
