Pip enables me to continue working
( I have worked full time until recently when MS fatigue etc and several herniated discs made it impossible to continue) pip helps me access work as it pays for incontinence products etc and part time work helps me manage health issues. Going forward it feels it would be better to give up work and get benefits to pay for rent etc
Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: 420 per month
Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: N/ A
Anything else to tell us: I feel pushed by the goverment. It's as if I am less than.
I keep hearing this rhetoric about " working people, getting Britain working...well I've worked full time from the age of 18 until 59 and I am been made to feel " lazy" , less than etc as, through no fault of my own, my body has failed me. Plus applying for pip is an already demeaning and demoralising experince
