Please remember can you do something reliably, repeatedly and safely? With CFS I cannot repeat the physical stuff on the ESA 50 and then be fit to do something else. Would an employer want to take on someone who becomes exhausted very quickly and may not be able to continue, making them unreliable. I had to retire early due to ME/CFS. I sent a doctors letter and my retirement 'certificate' with the stuff for the tribunal. It took a lot of work but was worth it. (now in support group) Best of luck C

Good advice but it is worth remembering that the ESA process does not consider whether a claimant is employable or not!
