| Nickname: Neuro Gal |
| Age: 55-60 |
| Main health condition: Physical health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Progressive multiple sclerosis |
| 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 |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Absolutely bloody everything: numb hands, poor dexterity, no grip, numb feet, poor balance, can’t walk, fatigue off the scale, drop everything. So frustrating. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: About £450pcm - absolutely devastating. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I can’t leave my house, hold a pen, get hold of a sheet of paper, and have to use talk to type software. The most basic personal hygiene and care tasks are difficult to impossible depending on the day. I couldn’t get to an interview let alone work after 30+ years battling progressive MS. |
| Anything else to tell us: Just that this is appalling. |
