CFS

hi all this is my first post so please bear with me, i went for my assesment on the 30th dec, i suffer from epilepsy which is controlled by medication, no fits in 2 yrs, i also suffer from CFS, this is my main illness now, i described my day to day activities and told the nurse i limit myself to what i do and have to pace myself from day to day, also explained my sleeping pattern was awful and sometimes i couldnt get out of bed, i explained that i needed to sleep through the day if i was tired and that simple things such as driving, could make me tired very easily, i got the fone call today to say i didnt receive any points whatsoever. i now have the task of asking for a reconsideration and or appealing, can anyone point me in the right direction of the guides i need to use, im finding it difficult to find the ones relevant to me

thank you
