Thankfully I was supported by a member of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rethink.org\/get-involved\/campaigns\">Rethink campaigns team<\/a> in\u00a0giving oral evidence to a Parliamentary Review. Chaired by Lord Low of Dalston, the Review was set up to assess the likely impact of a proposed benefit cut. The cut\u00a0would\u00a0affect the amount of money awarded to people claiming Employment and Support Allowance (sickness benefit) who have been put into\u00a0the Work Related Activity Group (WRAG) (i.e. they are expected to attend appointments or carry out tasks to improve their \u201cemployability\u201d). Currently people\u00a0in the WRAG group receive \u00a3102.15 a week; the proposed cut, planned for April 2017, would see that figure drop by \u00a330 a week.\u00a0My role was to give Lord Low a sense of how hard it is for those of us with mental health problems to cope with the benefits system and with\u00a0job-seeking, and the likely impact of such a heavy-handed cut on claimants\u2019 mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday the report on the Peers\u2019 findings, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mencap.org.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/ESA%20WRAG%20Review%20December%202015.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Halving the Gap<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0was formally launched at Westminster and I was very pleased to be asked to give a five minute talk on the issues. The\u00a0report is hosted on the charity\u00a0Mencap\u2019s website, testimony to\u00a0the input of\u00a0many major charities in supporting the\u00a0submission of\u00a0evidence from disabled people.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why don\u2019t people with mental health problems just get a job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can struggle with a whole range of difficulties \u2013 our thoughts, our emotions and our behaviour can all be affected and that\u2019s certainly true of my own experience of living with bipolar disorder.\u00a0At some point, most of us have trouble with communication such as emails, phone calls and letters and with cognition, which is the ability to think clearly and remember information.Not being able to cope with these tasks can increase our anxiety and diminish our self-esteem. We also struggle against the effects of stigma discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>We know that disabled people want to get out from under the benefits system and find meaningful work \u2013 but it has to be work that fits around their disability. There are huge barriers out there for those with lived experience of mental distress. People with very stigmatising diagnoses like personality disorders and in particular psychosis and schizophrenia are especially disadvantaged.<\/p>\n<p>When I first claimed ESA three years ago I actually had a job managing 13 people but I had come to a point where I was just too ill to do it any more. After seeing evidence from Occupational Health and my consultant psychiatrist my employer tried to end my contract as kindly and painlessly as possible. Ironically, during this process I was called to Work Capability Assessment and placed in the WRAG group. I appealed using the information from my psychiatrist and my employer and was subsequently placed in the support group.<\/p>\n<p>I loved my job and losing it was a huge blow. It\u2019s probably best that back in 2012 I didn\u2019t know that years later I\u2019d still be unable to hold down a \u201cnormal job\u201d. I can just about work two days a week in my new career as a self-employed mental health consultant. It can be very difficult to manage anything constructive within in the extreme rapidity of my mood cycles. Just to give you an idea, between Friday and today my mood has switched from high, to desperately panicky, to actively suicidal, to milder depression and back to high again. It\u2019s an unpredictable roller coaster. Self-employment is the only way to work around these fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>I take a combination of 5 different drugs daily to keep me as well as possible. Some of them are very sedating and I sleep up to 13 hours a day. For me, 10am is an \u201cearly start\u201d and I had to tweak the time I took my meds just to be able to get up. Doing something that requires a lot of energy, like speaking to you today, will require the same amount of recovery time later.<\/p>\n<p>Much as I\u2019d like to \u2013 and I do torment myself sometimes by reading job adverts \u2013 I just can\u2019t work for an employer right now. I can\u2019t commit to being at a certain place and time every day, or indeed to turning up at all if my health deteriorates. There is of course the Equality Act requirement to make reasonable adjustments, but my condition is so volatile that I just can\u2019t see how any employer could accommodate that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s taken a lot of time to build up my business and it still doesn\u2019t earn enough to live on. When I first dipped my toe in the waters of self-employment, DWP rules made gaining work experience harder, not easier. I began by doing little bits of activism with Rethink Mental Illness and other charities, and got paid \u00a350 for each event. The permitted earnings for those on ESA are \u00a320 a week. So I could only do one activity a month or lose my benefit, and even then it was difficult for payroll to authorise three cheques of \u00a320, \u00a320 and \u00a310 across three weeks. The whole thing made no sense.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m established as self-employed I sometimes have to make a judgement call about whether I am well enough to work. In the spring I became too ill to manage my emails, diary and invoicing, so I put myself on sick leave and claimed ESA. During that 3-week period I received no fewer than 32 sides of information I was supposed be able to digest \u2013 when the whole reason I was claiming was that my cognition had deteriorated to the point when I couldn\u2019t handle correspondence. I pretty much had no idea of what I was supposed to be doing or what I was being told, and I found this terrifying, wondering what the DWP would do if I had got something wrong.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s become a darkly comic joke in the mental health community that just the sight of infamous DWP brown envelope is enough to generate fear all on its own. I found one on my doormat yesterday and had to force myself to open it. My heart was pounding and my palms were sweating \u2013 but it was just notification of my \u00a310 DLA Christmas bonus!<\/p>\n<p>Mental health service users are genuinely sick and in many cases, genuinely disabled. I\u2019ve had bipolar since I was 11, and I\u2019m now 41. It\u2019s not going anywhere. It\u2019s a real and devastating disability that affects my work, relationships and parenting. You simply cannot improve people\u2019s chance of gaining employment without an enabling benefits system, and enabling work cultures. DWP structures throw the responsibility to find work back onto people who are multiply disadvantaged by their symptoms, by diagnoses, and by stigma and discrimination, with no regard for the impact of those factors. Pushing them into poverty by reducing benefits would add another layer of disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>People in the WRAG group already speak of being feeling bullied and hounded as they are told to attend courses or events with no understanding of their condition and little obvious benefit. A swingeing cut to ESA would further increase people\u2019s fear, anxiety, and depression paradoxically damaging their fitness to work as well as their ability to understand work related activity.<\/p>\n<p>I think what most disabled people want is to be treated with dignity and respect across government departments and workplaces. We already have long way to go, so I will end with a plea that we don\u2019t allow things to be made worse by punitive benefit cuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I went to the House of\u00a0Lords, something I found quite intimidating.
