G, who lives with her husband and looks after her grandson two days and nights per week, has a number of health conditions including spondylosis and arthritis. Her husband has problems with his knees and hands, as well as diabetes. Their grandson has autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and they look after him to help their daughter who also has poor health. G, who receives Pension Credit, is struggling to cook safely. An electric multi-cooker will assist with this, as G will not need to lift it, which she is unable to do at the moment.
