| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: I might - under the cooking descriptor, as my husband does this mostly. scored 2 last time. |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: For me, it's standing to cook that's the issue - I can stand for 15 to 20 minutes, or maybe more to cook something on the hob, but when I try to move, the pain in my back and fee is excruciating, necessitating at least two hours of rest with my feet up afterwards. So I don't do it... I can dress myself, but need to be sitting down. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I'd lose that standard rate PIP - which funds all kinds of necessities that I can't afford out of wages. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I do work (self employed bookkeeper), but only from home. Would never be able to cope with working in an office anymore. |
