I'm confused. Are you asking how to find the right treatment for both conditions?

ESA

If it is a PIP's or Universal Credit assessment then you can claim for this condition take time to write down ALL the side effects that come with RLS - pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety, inability to focus due to fatigue,fatigue, etc, etc, etc.

If you’ve been dx’d by a neurologist who did tests to show why he/she thinks you have RLS, take the report with you. If you kept a log or journal, a summary at least, might also be helpful.

Keep a log of your symptoms and include how they affect you at work, and take it with you to show if they ask about details. And a letter from your Dr saying you’ve been referred to a sleep clinic for evaluation for RLS sleep issues would also be helpful. It’s probably a multi-step process, right?
