Upper tribunal appeal

I'm at the stage where I've been turned down by the lower tribunal for my claim renewal, and have been given permission to appeal to the upper tribunal. I've just got the statement from the Secretary of State - which calls for my appeal to be dismissed - and am due to write my response to it; then everything will go to the upper tribunal.

I wondered if there are any guides on here for this stage? I couldn't see anything but maybe I'm missing it. I've given them medical proof of my conditions and have the support of 3 doctors, but they're still saying that 'although I've given proof of the condition itself, I have not given proof of how it affects me'. Can anyone please tell me how I'm meant to respond to this? I have M.E. and mental health problems, which are difficult to prove, but aside from the back up of doctors who have known me for years I also have relevant test results from a laboratory - these show my Mitochondrial Function is poor and my Adrenal Function is awful; the fatigue specialist said it's one of the worst adrenal functions she's ever seen. You can't have that and not have severe symptoms but the tribunals refused to admit this. I don't know what else I can do. This has been going on for over a year and has made me ill with stress. Any help would be much appreciated.

That's disappointing, I joined the site again to get advice on it

I did have a 'rep' before, when I was appealing to the LTT, but she was pretty useless.
