| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: Almost zero |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Moving around Showering Cooking General housekeeping Struggling mentally Toileting Dressing |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £295.60 per month. This would dramatically effect my ability to pay my bills and I have old style Contribution ESA and no idea if that will be cut or reduced. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: Fibromyalgia has no set pattern for when it plays up. Some days it's not too bad but around 60% of the time I can barely move with the pain. I can sleep alot and also suffered badly with insomnia, neither of which would be helpful with an employer |
| Anything else to tell us: The form is already loaded against those who have variable conditions and it is extremely hard to prove eligibility. I am suffering a huge amount of anxiety due to this. I spent 16 years as my mother's Primary Carer and ended up with these conditions, which are lifelong. I saved the country huge amounts of money and sacrificed a family and my health to be told I am about to be found not disabled enough to be offered support during my time of need as I am not sick enough and need to work. It's utter folly as no employers want or need employers who have no idea of their ability to get out of bed, let alone work, on a day to day basis. |
