A 19-year-old teen that can’t walk or talk was worked to travel 25 miles in order to attend a “fit for work” benefits interview.

19-year-old Aaron Faulkner was born with a rare genetic condition that is called “unbalanced chromosome translocation.”

Due to the rare genetic condition, the teen is forced to stay in his wheelchair, and could not control his arms.

Aaron also has breathing problems that he suffers from cerebral palsy.

The teen could not communicate and needs to be fed through a tube.

43-yer-old Joanne, the mother of Aaron, applied for the Universal Credit when he left school and the Department of Work and Pensions.

Joanne says taking Aaron anywhere is similar to a military operation.

When Joanne requested to take the meeting in their house, the Department of Work and Pensions told her that they would have to travel all the way to Doncaster to the Job center for the meeting.

When her request was refused, Aaron was in care in Sheffield after a pipe under their bath inside their room exploded, which flooded the room of Aaron.

Despite the medical records, Aaron was forced to take a 25-minute trip to prove the Department of Work and Pensions that he was not fit to work.

During an interview with the Sun, Joanne said, “Aaron can’t do anything for himself and relies on us.”

Joanne added, “Aaron is wheelchair-bound, we have a specially adapted car for him, with his feeding pumps and everything he needs in. He is incontinent and uses nappies and has to be hoisted everywhere. The man who we traveled to see for the interview couldn’t believe it.”

Joanne continued, “He couldn’t believe we’d been asked to come out to them for the interview, and said he would put a note on his records so it didn’t happen again.”

Joanne and Lee, the parents of Aaron, work in a factory.

A spokesperson of the Department of Work and Pensions said, “We are very sorry a home visit was not arranged, it should have been. We have apologized to Ms. Faulkner and are processing her son’s claim quickly to make sure she and her son have the support they need.”

Aaron attended the Heatherwood Special School for Children since he was 3-years-old.
