| Nickname: Disabledmumto5 |
| Age: 46 |
| Main health condition: Both physical and mental health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Postural Tachycardia Syndrome Functional neurological disorder Arthritis Fibromyalgia Severe asthma Autism ADHD |
| Rate of PIP daily living component: Enhanced |
| 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: Every day is a struggle, I struggle to cook food due to having no sense of smell, therefore I don’t know if food has gone off. I struggle finding the motivation to eat. I struggle to get dressed, have a shower. I struggle with socialising with people. I struggle with my mobility. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I will loose my enhanced pip, my LWRCA on UC and my husband will loose his carers element and we will be benefit capped. This amounts to £1600 per month. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I currently only work 10 hours a week, I physically cannot do anymore hours even with support from a work coach. One of the main symptoms of my chronic illnesses is fatigue, if I was forced to work more hours then I would end up having to go on the sick long term and therefore wouldn’t have a job. |
| Anything else to tell us: If these new changes come in place, then this would have a detrimental effect on my family. My husband would have to go back to work, which means there would be no one to care for me. I would then have to go into residential care, which is not something I ever thought I would need to do at the age of 46. |
