| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Walking down stairs, cooking, poor appetite, often tasks which requires use of shoulders due to pain, washing etc. Going out and driving. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £400+ per month. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I work part time and fear they may try to push me into full time work, I'm also a single mum so it would be very difficult for me to do. Looking at me you wouldn't see my dissability so I'd expect them not to understand or care about my difficulties. I'm lucky that I can space my working days due to my pain and this is how I've managed to remain employed. |
| Anything else to tell us: Pip enables me to remain in work as when I cannot drive with pain I can get a taxi to work. I require a specific diet causing nutritional dificencies so I wouldnt be able to afford the food I require or my medications, some which aren't prescribed. I'd also possibly be homeless with my child as private rent has just increased also. I was just recently awarded PIP. This was a very difficult, stressful process and resulted in a tribunal which was overturned immediately, without me even saying a word! It took an enormous toll on my mental health and all this demonising in the press and parliament is shocking, they should hang their heads in shame. |
