Katie Price says 'are you kidding me' after disabled son Harvey's health assessment

A stunned Katie Price has been told her disabled son Harvey has 'no healthcare issues'. The former glamour model had been trying to get the 22-year-old funding for another year in his live-in college but said he now faces leaving after Christmas.

Katie claimed an assessor believed Harvey had 'no health problems' and support would only be offered for social care. She told her The Katie Price Show listeners that her son was on "medicine to keep him alive" but "they just think it’s behaviour".

Filling in her fans on the latest development, she said: “The socials came back yesterday, the people who do the funding, and they believe by seeing Harvey that Harvey has no healthcare issues. That he only needs social care issues. They think he has no health problems so they’re not funding, and want him to live in a social care place."

She continued: “So now obviously the doctors and all that are good with me. He has a passport for the hospital, he’s on medicine to keep him alive, he’s cortisol deficient so can go into adrenaline crisis at any time, if he’s ill he ends up in hospital, what are they on about? Anyone out there, if you’re in a situation like me, like everyone knows Harvey has healthcare issues, it’s been documented and I’ve done documentaries on it, but they just think it’s behaviour.

“I’m like are you kidding me? And I’m now having to appeal. Even his social worker is like ‘you’ve got to appeal it’ and it’s all because of money. I will not be letting Harvey suffer but it looks like he will be coming home. Not home, I mean a place nearer me, up the road. He won’t be able to stay at college after Christmas.”

Harvey, who was 46-year-old Katie's first child, was diagnosed with septo-optic dysplasia when he was a baby. He also has autism and has Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes physical and mental issues.

The mum-of-five recently revealed doctors were looking to change Harvey's medication following a DNA test. She said: “They’re changing his meds, but how fascinating is this. They’ve done a DNA on his mouth, they’re sending it to America to test it, to know that the medication, if he can have different ones they do now for his behaviour and his health, how fascinating, I didn’t know you could do that.”
