| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Every day is an effort due to pain simple chores like putting dishes away are exhausting as I have to do them one at a time. Cleaning my home is very difficult and exhausting and painful and take a very long time. Simple joys like walking is almost impossible and when I go on holiday I tend to sit in the car and guve my friends my camera to take photos for me.i have to do online shopping as I can't walk around the shops anymore. I cooking less ans less as it's so painful and rely on several disabled adaptations to help me prepare food. Opening lids on bottles is coming a nightmare, due to pain my sleep is very disturbed and so u feel sleepy through the day not helped by my strong medication my eyesight and hearing are also deteriorating due to diabetes and age. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I expect to loose about 310 per month that can help towards home delivery costs, disabled aids, assistance with food prep and cleaning |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I work |
| Anything else to tell us: I have been disabled for many years now and despite my many ailments i do work as I have a company that helps support my needs however this cut will be devastating to me and the support it gives me. The point system is already very unfair for disabled people as you do not get multiple points for multiple support needs the new system doesn't target disabled people it targets people who cannot do anything for themselves at all to meet at least one of the 4 point descriptors it's unfair and discriminatory towards disabled people. |
