| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: It takes me most of the morning to wash, dress and eat breakfast/brunch. I have a sleep after lunch as I rarely sleep more than a few hours at night due to pain, bowel and bladder issues. I then start on dinner. I get into my PJ’s after dinner and go to bed about 20:30. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Over £1,000 per month in various benefits and allowances |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: It’s time and pain. It takes me so long to do anything. I cannot drive or walk to a bus stop so would need taxis. I would need a carer as I can’t do anything quickly enough. A carer can attend to my personal needs, cooking and cleaning. I might then have possibly an hour maximum daily when I would be capable of doing something. Ideally from home as I have to lay down often during the day. |
