Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle to bathe and shower and making meals.
I struggle to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes.
Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £430 a month. This would impact me because I use that money to pay someone to come in once a week to wash my hair and take me to appointments and shopping. Without this money I couldn't afford to pay anyone to do this.
Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I suffer from post exertional malaise so would struggle to get to and from work, nevermind the concentration required to participate in any work.
Anything else to tell us: The government don't appear to be taking into account the fluctuating conditions like mine, where you never know how you are going to be feeling one hour to the next, nevermind one day to the next.
