| Nickname: Sarah |
| Age: 50-55 |
| Main health condition: Both physical and mental health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Fibromyalgia, HEDs, Osteoarthritis, Depression & Anxiety |
| 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: Very unlikely |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle with all household daily tasks, cleaning, cooking, food shopping. My pain levels and fatigue can be so bad that getting out of bed is not easy. Even getting down the stairs some days is hard. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £549.00 per month. This would restrict me going out even more. I hire a mobility scooter when I go to any shopping area as walking any distance is difficult. The loss of the money means I won’t have free money to hire a scooter. My weekly cleaner will have to go meaning I will struggle to keep my home clean. I have my food shopping delivered each week and with that money I will need to food shop myself I don’t know how. The loss of my pip payments will have a huge impact to my life. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I don’t work as my pain levels don’t make it possible anymore. I have no idea what job I would be able to manage. The brain fog attached to my fibromyalgia makes concentration very hard too. I wouldn’t be reliable and wasn’t towards the end of my last employment with too many sick days due to my pain which also created huge levels of depression and anxiety due to failing my employer. |
