One of the things that Cat is - without a doubt - is fiercely independent. And now that independence may be limited depending on what happens with her PIP assessment. Some years ago, the government decided to replace the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) with a Personal Independence Payment (PIP). It's introduction was staggered and everyone who wants to continue receiving this benefit has to apply and go for an assessment. For Cat, that time has come - the form has gone in, she's got her assessment date (which should have taken place by the time you listen to this). Cat talks openly about what it means to her and the potential impact if she loses her Motability allowance - which is key in maintaining her independence. She also talks about the upcoming Women in Tech Cyrmu and we hear a clip of her and her husband Dan having a meet & greet with a lovely deer who decided to join them in the car (well just it's head!) while on a day at LongleatWe hear her and her husband Dan enjoying an in car visit from Bambi (aka a deer) on a day out at Longleat.
