| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: getting out of bed and dressed is a struggle, without the support of my carer i wouldn't bother. making simple discissions almost feels impossible. emotionally unstable personality disorder effects how i interact with other people, i can not mix with strangers and feel uncomfortable in strange places. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: PIP - £108.55 PW for daily living needs = £434.20 every 4 weeks Universal credit LCWRA £423.27 per calendar month approximately £10,284 per year |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: i struggle the majority of days with my illness, such is the effect of my illness any 2 days are not a like so i cannot keep to a structured time scale. i am on medication that surpresses my mental ability and it also makes me feel very drowsy, this is not an ideal scenario when in a place of work. |
| Anything else to tell us: i have had several attempted suicide attempts steming over the years since i was 14... my carer (husband) has to manage my medication and keep it locked away to prevent me from taking an overdose which i have done on several occassions... He also has to secure our house (lock doors) to prevent me from running away and doing something silly when i'm at a low ebb.... mental illness seems to be looked down upon as an illness, ultimately it cost my daughter her life - my husband found her after she hung herself NO PIP = NO CARER (CARERS ALLOWANCE STOPS) THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I AM STILL HERE TODAY ! I THINK IN VIEW OF THE SUPPOSED CUTS THIS WILL PUT AN EXTRA BURDEN ON THE NHS (HOSPITALS AND LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH TEAMS) |
