| Nickname: NannySue |
| Age: 65 |
| Main health condition: Both physical and mental health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia and depression with anxiety |
| 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: Washing and bathing alone is dangerous as I can’t stand long enough to shower because I become very dizzy and fall easily due to my cervical spine problems which make me feel very weak and shaky. Preparing food is exhausting and extremely difficult due to weakness in my left arm and hand because of my spinal condition. I can’t lift pans or dishes. I have scalded myself many times because of weakness. I can’t stand for more than a minute as pain is unbearable |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Around £440 a month I am in receipt of my state pension. Nothing has been said about how these changes will effect pensioners who are in receipt of PIP and it is extremely worrying because we are ignored |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I’m retired so it isn’t relevant to me |
| Anything else to tell us: No I think I have covered it all |
