Cost Of Inequality Story 1
Please Report the Errrors?
Hello. I'm Tracy from the community reporting Team.
And my question to you is
how is how are the everyday stresses and strains are you facing today?
Hello. My name is Yasmin.
Every the everyday stress I face
is not knowing whether or not I'm still employed by the
City Council.
I work part time at school Crossing patrol Warden
IE and on Flop
AD.
I work for eight hours a week in school term school term time.
I receive some support from Universal Credit
because I'm on a low income
recently. The job centre says I have to work more hours
because of a mental health problem. I cannot work full time.
I take 300 milligrammes of clozapine per day since
July 2000,
and I have regular blood tests every four weeks.
Uh, can I just ask then the medication you take affects your daily life?
Yes. The medication I take makes me drowsy.
And for me means I cannot drive
as means. Sometimes I have to nap in the day.
Um, the strain I'm facing is that I like being a lollipop lady
because I've worked for them over two years,
so I'll get a good work reference from them.
So I should not be told to get more hours
or different jobs which might not be suitable for me.
The current job I have is local, part time physical, which is what I wanted.
Um,
so the travelling was, um
Because you're the lollipop lady. You're quite close to where you live.
You feel as though you can't travel.
No,
The current job I have is a 10 minute walk to the work. A 10 minute walk back every day.
The job centre want me to get two buses
into town or
Soli and then two buses back again.
And that's too much for me.
Oh, are they asking you to get another job, then? Basically,
hours, eight hours is not very much. Not very long.
I'm expected to get at least at least 16 hours
in order
to be employed without
having the job centre with me.
So basically, the job centre is putting more pressure on you
to get more.
But you feel as though the role that you're in now
suits
you suits
your lifestyle.
Ok, then. Thank you very much for your time.
And I hope it goes well for you in the future. Thank you.
