| Nickname: Harry |
| Age: 40-50 |
| Main health condition: Mental health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Schizophrenia and Bipolar |
| Rate of PIP daily living component: Standard |
| 4 point descriptor score: No |
| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: Should have recieved a 4 for cooking food, assessor hasn't ignored this the form was helped filled in by a mental health worker, also fell one point short of enhanced! It's like the system is already fixed to determine outcome. I don't have the energy to go for mandatory reconsideration or trial! |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Its been a lifelong condition with multiple relapses throughout, not a single episode whereby thats all some individuals suffer throughout their lives. When going through a relapse suffering from psychosis struggle with most of the descriptors. Even when well and in recovery 2/3 years later still struggle with most of the daily living tasks ordinary people take for granted! |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Health care component of Esa and Personal Independence Pip. Will struggle to pay rent and council tax and possibly prescriptions, a real possibility of becoming homeless and starving and unwell. Medication that keep me reasonably well that prevent onset of relapse however not a guarantee. Income maintains some form of stability when well however not able to manage when unwell. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: Time, patience and understanding to recover. I will struggle maintaining appointments and struggle with the motivation to be active and engage with the work coach and find this stressful and worsening my health. When well I've attended college and went on to a 3 year university degree sadly during the pandemic it all got to much and crashed and burned as a consequence and had two relapses December 2021 and 2022 where I was sectioned on both occasions. |
| Anything else to tell us: These cuts are cruel and sadistic the proposals are a sham and are a discrimination against disabled and sick individuals throughout making people out to be liars when they are genuine. Cutting both the pip that helps people in work and education, and combining this with the health element is going to be devastating and hazard a guess more than the proposed statitistics suggested of throwing 250,000 into poverty. |
