| Nickname: Bonnie29 |
| Age: 49 |
| Main health condition: Both physical and mental health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Severe chronic migraines, severe anxiety and depression, heart failure, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, restless legs syndrome, M.E. |
| 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: Very unlikely as I scored 14 but the highest was 3 points in one category. Also i believe the government will tell assessors to not award 4 points to get more people off benefits. |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I can’t move without assistance, I can’t shower alone, I need assistance to the toilet, I need someone to help me dress and make food for me. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I will lose £191.90 per week - Enhanced Daily Living Award of £110.40 a week, as well as Severe Disabilty Premium of £81.50 per week. I will not be able to pay for a carer to assist me and aids I need to aid me. I also wouldn’t be able to pay for petrol for my mobility car, as I would only be able to cover bills and food if I lose the money. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I wont be able to work in environments where there are loud noises, bright lights, computer monitors or stress as they exacerbate my conditions. I also can’t stand or sit for long periods of time. |
| Anything else to tell us: I would be interested in which employer would employ me where my conditions change day by day, hour by hour and I can’t guarantee to be able to attend every shift, as I’m left debilitated and unable to move from my bed without assistance at least two to three days per week!!! |
