A woman has described her "phenomenal" relief after she won a legal case that means she is entitled to be paid for caring for her elderly mother in her final years.

Bern Rogers, from Bristol, told the BBC of the "harrowing and deeply sad" family dispute since her elderly mother Sheila died in 2020, which even led to her facing criminal charges.
