WCA and CFS/ME

Hi. I'm bringing an old thread to the top, because I found the following useful document (very hard to find)!

www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/91681/res...hronic%20Fatigue.pdf

It's the DWP training manual for M.E./C.F.S and may be useful to anyone applying for ESA or PIP.

I have ME/CFS and always approach any claims for benefit as one who suffers from a physical disorder. If it were a mental illness treatments for such would probably improve the phsyical symptoms but it's physical. I also suffer from pre-existing depression which has become worse since I have had ME/CFS so I am on a higher dose of anit-depressants. I highly recommend the information provided by Action for ME as they have helped me in the past to claim benefits successfully and to win two appeals. Good luck!
