I'm in the same boat - ME, chronic pain, damaged disks and RLS along with anxiety and depression that has developed on the back of the various health problems and I've been awarded a Tier 1 but not a Tier 2 despite being told by 3 separate Dr's, (Occ Health, Specialist consultant in ME and GP), I'll never be fit to hold down any job!!

I have gotten 2 of the 3 Dr's to rewrite a little of their report emphasising that I am incapable of performing ANY work not just my job I was retired from. It is in the report but these guys seem to need it spelt out very plainly to them.

What did they say in the letter that you got?
