| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle with pretty much everything. Fatigue, pain, brain fog, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, limited mobilityI |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I expect to lose my full award of £550-ish per month PIP The extra for being in LCWRA ESA group, Also would lose deduction to rent too ....unsure of how much it will be now. So expect to lose everything other than standard UC payment |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I have panic attacks if I have to leave my home unaided. I am unable to predict when I have & dont have enough physical energy to work and also require time for recovery. My social skills are quite poor as I don't do well with strangers anymore. I spend a large % of time bedbound making it difficult to be reliable or safe. |
| Anything else to tell us: This latest insult to people who need to claim disability benefits is a disgrace from this Labour Government and I hope collectively we can fight this assault on the chronically sick & disabled by a Government who has lost all respect from the Community they are targeting. If these cuts go ahead, I fear I will lose my flat this time and will be made homeless. At my age with my health issues, I will never survive being on the streets again. I would rather die. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this desperate & concerned about what the next 12mths will bring. These are frightening times for all |
