| Nickname: Pjay 2006 |
| Age: 61 |
| Main health condition: Both physical and mental health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Complex PTSD Permanent nerve damage to left arm resulting in very limited mobility in shoulder and arm and hand |
| Rate of PIP daily living component: Enhanced |
| 4 point descriptor score: No |
| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: Unlikely |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle with social interaction, I need prompting for almost everything. I wouldn't eat properly if not prompted. I need assistance with washing/bathing under my arms to my waist. I can't do it myself i need help dressing my upper body |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £434 a month |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I can't work. I can't follow an unfamiliar route without assistance. I can't work from home because I have very poor concentration due to my complex PTSD and I have alot of trigger episodes which render me almost useless |
| Anything else to tell us: I should've had 4 points instead of 3 points for washing/bathing but the DWP underscored me, even when I told them my upper body needs assistance in bathing/washing and dressing. If I were to lose my daily living I would not be able to pay for my family members to assist me. They live in the next city from me and I wouldn't be able to afford to pay for the taxis for them to come and help me as they don't drive. I live alone and I depend on them for almost everything daily. |
