Expenses incurred in preparing for appeal

Here in the S.W England there are 2 well renowned consultants in the NHS who specialise in ME/CFS.
The names were given to me from the ME Group in Exeter who meet on a regular basis.
I got my GP to refer me to one of them who I saw and he diagnosed my CFS, suggested a care plan etc and produced an NHS report for me and my GP.
For once I did not see this consultant as a private pt, so it saved me lots of money and also meant I was in the system so to speak.
This I added to my ESA 50 when I sent it in.

Perhaps there is an ME/CFS group in your area or look up on website for additional help.

As reported in Steve's latest Newsletter, under certain circumstances it may be possible to get Legal Aid See Legal Advice

There is no specialist in my area for ME/CFS.

Thanks bro58. I have been a member of the ME Association for 11 years and I also use information provided by AfME but I have never seen either organisation refer to my particular enquiry so I will, as Gordon advised, phone the Tribunal service but I doubt they will compensate me.

Thanks, Jim. If the Tribunal Service turns me down flat, I'll look on here. £250 is a lot of money, after all.
