Young Glasgow woman with MS facing homelessness as council set to evict her from dead gran's home
19.01.2022 - 08:08 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A grieving Scots granddaughter with MS is facing homelessness after being told she must leave the council home she lived in with her gran before she died of Covid.
Caitlin Paul had been living with her gran Elizabeth, 72, on and off for five years before the pensioner was admitted to hospital with sepsis in February 2021.
The 24-year-old moved into her gran's Glasgow council flat permanently to look after her beloved dog Buddy while she spent ten months recovering in hospital and re-learning basic motor skills.
Caitlin became her gran's main carer when she was discharged from hospital on November 10, 2021 and the OAP was given a new wheelchair adapted home by Cadder Housing.
The pair planned to put Caitlin on the tenancy agreement so she was officially on documentation but tragically Elizabeth caught Covid just days after being discharged from hospital.
She died a short time later - before the tenancy documents could be updated.
Caitlin, who suffers from MS, will be evicted from the house on Thursday and has nowhere to go, leaving her homeless with two dogs.
She told the Record: "Me and my gran were really close so I stayed with her all the time. Last year she was unwell and had sepsis so I had to phone an ambulance and she was taken into hospital.
"We got a call saying she wouldn't make it through the night and then another call the night after that, but she did.
"She was in hospital for ten months and lost all her mobility. She had to re-learn how to feed herself but she did - she was amazing.
"She was a tenant in a flat with Cadder Housing but they offered her a specially adapted home when she was in hospital.
"I got the house ready for her coming home, and decorated it so it was nice and fresh. We had lots of balloons up
