| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Sleep is very difficult due to constant pain. Hard to get out of bed due to stiffness and pain. Preparing food due to exhaustion, pain, weakness/heavy limbs, vertigo, dizziness, poor balance. Hard to shower due to fatigue, dizziness, sore skin. I had 3 showers last year. I can't have baths due to weakness and fatigue, getting in and out is a problem. Vertigo and dizziness are high risk for injury. I have blackouts/fainting episodes usually in clusters lasting several days, i can faint whilst lying or sitting down (as its not blood pressure etc). Going outside is a nightmare for multiple reasons, I go out maybe once a month for essentials locally. I can't drive due to risk of blackouts or migraine. Walking is v hard, poor mobility. I self harm, life threatening injuries, I cut my face etc. I am suicidal. C- PTSD and dissociation make life very stressful and difficult. Its an ever ending roulette wheel of debilitating symptoms from multiple sources. Everything is hard. I have worked, Ive tried my best. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £9,000+ per year. PIP, LWRCA (UC) I'm assuming I'll still get housing benefit and ct rebate. (?) But if sanctioned due to lack of job search etc I will lose everything and be destitute. I will be amongst of the worst affected. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I can barely function. I'm exhausted, fatigued, need constant breaks; If I do the washing up I need a long break half way through due to pain and fatigue. I have random symptoms constantly, I can't predict anything. Migraine affects vision and perception, they also last for up to a week. I have blackouts which is a risk assessment issue, i have been badly injured in the past. I self harm, even if I never self harmed again, I have scars everywhere incl on my face and hands, places I cant cover up. I move slowly, partly due to mental health but also I'm in pain, constant pain, everywhere. It shard to retain inoformation, I need things repeated. I make mistakes and don't notice there's some cognitive issues, I don't always recognise objects or language. I also dyslexia, adhd which affects how i learn and perform tasks, I have problems with typing , poor spelling etc I would not be an asset to any business. |
| Anything else to tell us: Ive tried to keep things concise but its a long list regardless. If the benefit reforms go ahead, I will in any scenario, be left destitute, I Cannot Work. Its taken me along time to accept that I cannot work, I'm also 50 and chronically ill, no one I going to employ me anyway. I will end life, I will have no other option. |
