| Nickname: Anon |
| Age: 53 |
| Main health condition: Mental health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Bipolar, psychosis and anxiety. |
| 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: Uncertain |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Motivation and energy to do the basics like washing and dressing. I struggle to cook and do housework. Everyday tasks are overwhelming. The sedation of drugs doesn't help. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Approx £700 per month. I would have only £100 approx left for going out including bus fares. Clothes etc would need to come out of that too. In other words I would become isolated and my mental health would be at rock bottom. In one word poor. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: They would not understand mental health where stress is a trigger for manic and depressive episodes. I have tried volunteering but still ended up in hospital. I I am disabled and over 50 and know the reality is that younger fitter people are chosen by employers in most cases. |
| Anything else to tell us: Thanks for your excellent work. |
