| 4 point descriptor score: No |
| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: Not likely. |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle with everything as my energy levels are low, especially in the mornings and evenings. I struggle to get dressed, wash, clean my teeth, etc. My parner cooks meals when my energy is very low. I struggle to do household chores and shopping. If I lived alone I would have to order food online. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £300+ per month. I would have to limit my spending elsewhere. When I lived alone it was a real struggle financially and otherwise. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I am retired. I had to finish work in 2012 due to my condition. |
| Anything else to tell us: I am lucky in that I live with my partner who helps me a lot. She drives me everywhere and takes over cooking and domestic chores. I would really struggle if I lived on my own and PIP was removed. I would have tp pay for taxis as I have difficulty using public transport. |
