| Submission ID: 1164466 |
| Date: 2025-04-10 07:07:10 |
| Nickname: Anon27 |
| Age: 50-55 |
| Main health condition: Physical health |
| Main conditions that affect daily living: Hypermobility spectrum disorder and undifferentiated connective tissue disease |
| Rate of PIP daily living component: Enhanced |
| 4 point descriptor score: No |
| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: Unlikely as my condition has not changed |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Struggle to cook, clean, carry out chores, sit, stand and walk especially whilst carrying anything (including my work bag). |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: I will lose over £400 a month and will no longer be able to cook, clean and take care of myself without levels of pain and fatigue that will make it significantly more difficult, perhaps impossible, to work my job as a university lecturer. I would expect that losing daily living will also make assessors less likely to award mobility. If this happens I may lose my blue badge and then I would be completely unable to travel to/park at my workplace. |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I already work. |
| Anything else to tell us: PIP has been a lifeline for enabling me to work and therefore support myself and my family and look after myself day to day to remain well enough to work. Without it I do not know whether I will still be able to do my job and I certainly will not be able to cook or clean regularly, which will further impact my health. |
