There is an opportunity for people with fibromyalgia to take part in a high profile programme looking at disability benefits and the impact the changes are having on people’s lives.
They want to look at the change over from DLA to PIP and the cuts to ESA. They also want to look at mobility benefits and the number of people losing their adapted cars.
 
We hope that you might be able to help us find a case study very quickly as they are hoping to film next week.
 
The people they are looking for to film with next week are:
 
(i) Someone who has lost/ who will be losing their mobility vehicle after transition from DLA to PIP, especially if this means they will now struggle to get to work.
(ii) Someone who is going to be having a PIP face to face assessment within our filming window;
(iii) Someone who has ‘moderate or fluctuating’ disability who has had a PIP assessment and now receives less than they did under DLA – what is the impact on their life etc. 
(iv) Someone who will have to travel miles to get to their PIP assessment 
 
If you think you could help with any of these categories AND would be available to be filmed next week, then we would be extremely grateful! To register your interest please contact us using the form in this link: http://www.fmauk.org/goto.php?link=ucf
