No wheelchair access at Sefton's disabled benefits assessment ...
BENEFITS assessments for Sefton’s disabled are being conducted at a centre...without wheelchair access.
People with mobility problems cannot reach the first floor of St Martin’s House in Bootle to undergo vital medicals needed to claim disability living allowance.
There is a ramp and automatic doors to the front and rear entrances – but there is no office space on the ground floor.
Wheelchair users cannot reach the required floor and are forbidden from using the lift due to fire safety regulations.

He said: “Some people with disabilities are actuallyŠturning up to get assessed at St Martin's house, only to find that they physically can't get where they need to be, because of a lack of disabled access.
