| Possibility to score at least one 4-point daily living descriptor at the next review: Not sure as much condition is getting worse all the time |
| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Everything, I'm dizzy and bump into things, I struggle to cook because or the medication or tumour causing jerking symptoms, I feel permanently exhausted and depressed due to the severe pain, for this reason I don't socialise and if I'm pushed to it gives me severe anxiety, I can't look at a screen because it intensifies the migraine and I can't focus for it, I've tried loads of medications and nothing is helping much, I'm not a candidate for surgery due to tumour position, I'm not capable of doing things myself, its dangerous when I'm so dizzy, gave myself concussion twice due to falling forward and bumping into things, when I first wake I literally can't leave bed for 1 hour due to the awful dizziness, if I need the toilet someone takes me there, I don't know how I will cope without someone to give me lifts to hospital etc or a taxi. Won't be able to afford a car in the household without the additional money, I'm always at the hospital for pain injections etc. Always needing someone to go to the chemist for me, I really don't know how I will cope, I'm really scared about loosing the money |
| Expected income you will lose if the Green Paper cuts are imposed: Our household of two will loose approx £1000 a month. This will leave us unable to buy any food once rent and bills are paid. This is due to loosing the uni credit and carers element alongside pip |
| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I'm dangerous in the work place due to dizziness and the medication i'm on, I can't cope with focusing on things anyway due to severe head pain, I really struggle using the phone because of it, don't even talk to family on the phone for more than a couple of minutes, I can't look at screens and I struggle so much to focus. I literally don't know what job I could do. I'm scared. |
