I'm considering going to this protest, "“Scrap The Green Paper” coalition calls on the Department of Social Protection to "Scrap the Green Paper" on Disability Reforms." outside Leinster House on Thur, Dec 7.

Main thing that might stop me is my health

"But I was wrong. I was and am disabled. I got the [parking] placard and ended up using it every day because it was a life saver. I wished I had gotten it sooner when I needed it, long before I finally talked to my doctor about it."

It can be useful to get people who are not doctors to write reports about how an illness or disability has affected somebody when applying for disability payments in lots of countries

This document is from the US but the questions could give ideas about areas people in other countries could write about when writing such a report
