Nickname: Sarah C
Age: 42
Main health condition: Physical health
Main conditions that affect daily living: I have ME and fibromyalgia.
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 don’t know
Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Severe pain and fatigue which means I can only do 10% of what a normal person does
Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Around £73 per week. Will struggle to pay bills etc
Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I do work part time. See below.
Anything else to tell us: I do work part-time from home, but due to my health condition, I’m simply not able to do any more. On the days I do work, I’m left with no energy or capacity for anything else—which is why even basic things like showering only happen once a week. I struggle to cook, clean, or manage day-to-day tasks.

By taking away my PIP, they’re effectively pushing me to work full-time, which is something I physically cannot do. I’m already doing what Labour says it wants—working as much as I’m able—so why am I being punished for it by taking away my extra support? These cuts make no sense.
