| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: With the debilitating osteoarthritis I'm reliant on my daughter to make sure clothes and my aids to dress are accessible and preparing food for me . Since an episode of septic shock I have pain in my kidneys and my short term memory is bad to the extent that I don't feel safe operating any appliances which makes me more reliant on my daughter to cook my meals and organise my medication and finance's. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Loss of pip and lcwra |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I worry about physically being able to work and more so being able to digest training for new jobs as I definitely can't continue in the construction industry where I was previously employed |
| Anything else to tell us: Not knowing the outcome of future income has increased my depression and I feel everyone on disability benefit are being categorised all together, when in fact each individual is different. |
