The updated rules, coming into effect later this year, will reduce mileage allowances and sharply increase charges for exceeding them, making it impossible for her to continue working or maintain her active lifestyle. Kay, an avid athlete and aspiring play therapist, relies on her adapted Vauxhall Groundland to transport her assistance dog, wheelchairs, and equipment.
