Nickname: Mr P
Age: 55-60
Main health condition: Both physical and mental health
Main conditions that affect daily living: Arthritis, Depression, Anxiety
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: Unlikely (I believe they will be told not to score 4 to anyone who doesn’t already)
Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Getting in out of short, bath alone, getting up getting dressed , remembering meds, reacting unless I’m encouraged, depression takes every once out of want to even breath.
Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I’m just about to mandatory transition to UC which will reduce be by £250 pm I’ll loose £434 pm pip ( means I’ll have to give up my car) although there not touching mobility , lol. To cover what they take from daily living + freeze on health element. I’m sure will have knock on for other discounts or purls from not on daily living enhancement.
Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I’ve not worked in 10 years , if I tell an employer they won’t hire me ( do I lie) if I get a job I can’t be reliable I’ll be let go and further effect my reputation . Rightly so no won can employ me I’m not sustainable
Anything else to tell us: I fought for 6 years struggling and only now I can afford an existence this last 4 years. I’ve been awarded higher for both till 2033 when I retire , but with no 4 points. They will take more than ½ my income away povert and debt loom. I might as well be dead when it happens my depression over this is already started. If I’m not dead when is does I will be shortly after. Thanks Labou
