| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle daily with getting up in a morning due to so much pain. I have frequently seizures and absences due to the effects of FND. What makes it worse is stress and tiredness which I cannot overcome because of the other disabilities, makes it hard. I also have epilepsy and tonic clonic seizures, I am not able to have baths, someone has to be around when I have showers, not allowed upstairs unless someone is here and not allowed to cook or boil water. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I would lose the daily living part which would reduce by nearly £400. This would have an enormous affect as i always need someone with me whatever I do its crippling, but the money helps with taxis, help around the house. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I have very unpredictable seizures and absent seizures and because of this it limits what I can do, I wouldn't be able to maintain a job due to this and the fact I need someone with me all of the time when doing things. |
| Anything else to tell us: It is very unfair that it's 4 points on 1 descriptior for the daily living. I get 13 points overall but all 1,2,3 points. And then somebody who get 4 points on 1 descriptior and 2 points on another 2 descriptior equals 8 points and they get to keep their money even though I scored 13. Doesn't make sense whatsoever |
