| 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: I should but it depends on assessments |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Dressing Washing my husband has to help me in shower to was and dress I cannot cook at all my husband cooks ready meals for us. I cannot wash my hair as it's too painful. I cannot walk far due to breathlessness due to my heart and pain from my spine and osteoarthritis in my feet , knees etc. I need help now to just get up in the morning but none of this was taken into account in my past review even though I declared it in my form and had documents to back up every condition. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I would lose £300 a month but I should be in receipt of the higher amount but was so concerned that they might take my mobility allowance off me that I did not question it. I am supposed to avoid stress with my heart condition so I did not contest it. If I didn't have my husband here I would need a carer and how am I supposed to afford that? These new rules are so worrying, I don't know where to turn. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I cannot work, I am very sick and 71. |
| Anything else to tell us: These reforms are cruel and the money the government want should be taken from those who can afford it not the sick, elderly and disabled. I am embarrassed to say I voted Labour as the party of the people but never again. They took my pension off me as I am a Waspi woman, they took my fuel allowance off me because my husband has small pension because he worked until he was 75 and now they want to take our sickness benefit off us!!!! I am thoroughly demoralised and extremely concerned at these proposed measures, I could cry. |
