Hi, fibromyalgia is not automatically classed as a disability, however, depending on the severity of your symptoms you may be classed as having a disability if you meet the criteria of the equality act

Re a pension - unsure if you are meaning can you claim benefits in general (state pension is automatic when you reach qualifying age, private pension depends on the individual pension scheme)

You can contact our benefits team to ask about benefits you can claim
