Here is the FibroAction Support Group Directory:

fibroaction.org/Pages/Suppo...

Local support groups for people affected by Fibro are usually independently run by local people (often people with Fibro themselves).

FibroAction is one of the national charities concerned with Fibro awareness and education. We provide groups with publicity through the Directory and event listings and also provide flyers and posters if wanted.

There are two types of Employment Support Allowance Groups one is the Work Related Activities Group (WRAG) which is supposed to help you get back to work and the other is the Support Group.

In the WRAG you have to take part in some work focused interviews, the purpose of which is to discuss with you the type of work you think you could manage or would like to get into, what barriers to getting back to work there are for you and how they could be overcome.

If you are in the Support Group you no longer have to take part in any interviews by the DWP until your claim is up for renewal (unless you want to). Payment is slightly higher in the Support Group
