A one-legged amputee has claimed he lost his disability benefits after Government investigators allegedly filmed him playing cricket for his local club.
Shaun Rigby, 37, said he was told by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) that officials had covertly tailed him for weeks as part of a probe into his disability claim.
The married father-of-four was filmed batting for his local team - with the undercover footage then presented as evidence he 'wasn't disabled enough'.
The Government has now stopped his personal independence payment (PIP) benefits and taken away a car he leased to help with his mobility.
But Mr Rigby, who once represented England’s disabled cricket team, said he can only play for Allscott Heath Cricket Club in Shropshire with the help of a runner and an umpire holding his crutch.
