| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: I had to go through two tribunals to get the award. One of the things I specifically struggle with it getting undressed on my top half. Which should be 4 points but they only gave me 2. I think it was so I didn’t get enhanced level as it would have taken my points over that level. |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: All tasks, every day. Physically I have limited energy, mobility and strength. Mental I have struggled my whole life. Depression to the point of suicidal. And in the last couple of years figuring out my ADHD. I only have a few usable hours per day and have to be very careful about what I do. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £400 every 4 weeks |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I only work a few hours a week on my own business. If I tried to do more than that I would burnout again, triggering all my symptoms to flare up and set off suicidal ideation. |
| Anything else to tell us: The idea that businesses our willing are ready to take on hundreds of Disabled people is an absolute myth. They aren’t set up for the flexibility that people with my conditions need to account for “good” and “bad” days. |
