Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Bathing, cooking, cleaning, dressing/undressing, toilet needs.
Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £400 per month plus my daughter could lose carers allowance and carers premium from her UC as she is my live in carer.
Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I was finished from my job in 2020 due to my health, I am now a lot worse than I was then. I would struggle to commit to any type of work due to irregular sleep patterns due to insomnia and also medication. I also find it difficult to learn new things due to a lack of concentration caused by my illnesses and medication.
Anything else to tell us: I have worked all my life until the age of 57 when I had to give up not just my job but my lifestyle due to ill health. I no longer socialise or have days out, I am mostly housebound due to pain and fatigue.
