ReplyDeleteI don't see prospective employers looking at my CV in a very good light.
ReplyDelete"Need to sleep 12+ hours per day. Behave like rag doll for the remaining 12. Need constant supervision to care for self and avoid hurting self. Can't walk far, need wheelchair access, need someplace to take regular lay down. Can't do bright light or loud noises, no, telephones or multitasking possible. Cannot intergrate with more than two people at a time or become confused. Get left and right and on and off mixed up. Have thermostatic instability so must have room at correct temperature all year round. Must have regular meal breaks for small snacks or blood pressure swoops causing me to faint. Other problems not willing to disclose here".
Any takers? No I thought not.
Please act in a humane manner, delay the PIP and rethink the DLA. It should be a benefit of inclusion not exclusion, it helps so many of us remain independent.
