| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle, with pain in all my joints and breathing problems, which makes just doing simple tasks walking upstairs, short distances, very hard. I struggle with hair washing, because of the pain and struggle to wash my hair. I avoid going out because of anxiety , my autism makes me vunerable, I struggle with people and understanding, and have been taken a advantage off. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: All my enhanced pip , yet to move on UC but will be hundreds of pounds worse off. Won't be able to pay bills, eat, travel on the bus or taxi for appointments. No heating. Which will cause more chest infections, which with copd getting worse could die from it |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I have fatigue, which I can all of sudden need to sleep, ibs back and forth to the toilet. I am in pain constantly and out of breath so can't do much. My autism and dyslexia causes me anxiety. At 58 as well |
| Anything else to tell us: Targeting the disabled this way is unfair, and will see us in poverty, rely on foodbanks, unable to pay bills. Homeless. This unfair 4 point system will cause this. Especially hard for us who are enhanced so need support, and find daily tasks difficult. This will lead to people not wanting to be around anymore We are human beings, not numbers on a spreadsheet. We cannot help that our bodies are broken, mentally and physically. We struggle each day as it is. Under the tories we were targeted and Labour are worse. Why do these parties hate the disabled so much. We just about surviving |
