After 18-year-old Connor Donnelly from Mauchline was incorrectly told by the Department for Work and Pensions to seek employment despite being blind and wheelchair-bound, Sir Rod Stewart has stepped in to provide financial support. The donation follows a three-month struggle for the family to secure Connor's benefits, providing them with some much-needed relief after a difficult period.
