I suffer with fibromyalgia, bpd and anxiety. I’m due to go for an assessment to see if I’m fit for work. I’ve been deemed unfit from my gp but the assessor usually thinks I’m fit then I have to appeal. What can I do to prevent this happening. The fibromyalgia is that painful that I can’t get myself out of

Hi @Aldmmsck97 and welcome to the community. Glad you've found us.
I am not able to advise on benefits, but we do have people here who are and they will be along to chat with you in due course. I'm going to 'name drop' one gentleman here who will either be able to help or to refer your post to someone who can @CockneyRebel.
Please bear with us, and keep in touch.
Warmest best wishes,
