| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle to get up some mornings due to pain and stiffness. I cannot cook anymore. I walk with a stick slowly and need help to wash and dress. Despite this I have only ever been awarded standard rate. I have accepted this through fear of losing my award at appeal. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Around 6-700 pounds a month I think. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I am worried I would be able to do the work and my health would deteriorate further. |
| Anything else to tell us: I would become homeless. I have just had a further £50 increase to my rent. This is my third increase in as many years. I have to pay the shortfall from my pip, as the housing benefit doesn't cover it. I pay almost £150 myself. I live in a cold privately rented home. I would not be able to afford heating and some of my conditions are made worse by the cold. I would not be able to afford my bills or food. |
