Hi all, i wonder if anyone can help with this question, i am trying to claim my teachers pension and this will be my second appeal. I have read that if i can prove that i have suffered with cfs for 4 years or more i match their criteria requirements! yipee... i found some information on line that indicates that these conditions come under the same catagory, does anyone else know if this is true? fingers crossesd. thank you, Shazzad xx

Hi, yes it is if you type in fibromyalgia on google, open one up and go to symptoms. It shows cfs, me, arthritis, fm and a few more. print it off and send it with your claim. I think the best site is nhs. I hope this helps x

Yes they come under the umbarella of " Functional Neurogical Symptoms" This is what I've been told by my Neurologist. Hope this helps xxx
