| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: I struggle with mobility, particularly early in the day. So need aids and plenty of time to get dressed. I also find it very painful to hold small things like a toothbrush, a knife and fork or a pen, making cooking and eating proper meals very difficult. I cant get in the bath, and need a raised toilet seat. My anxiety means I can't go to new places alone. |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: £700 per month. I won't be able to pay my bills. My flat will be cold, so I'll be able to move even less. I won't be able to meet my friend for coffee. Worst of all I'll have to stop the 4 hours of volunteering I currently do |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I can't think of any job I could do aside from the volunteer work I currently do. The pain I'm in means I have about 4 hours of functional time most days. So no one will hire me. |
