Anyone else dealing with CFS or ME and having to claim JSA?

Hey,
Not really sure what to post so I'll just say hi. Joined cause I wanted to get help with finding types of work I can do with a long-term health condition and most importantly if I'll be better of working and types of work that I could reasonably do and pay well.

Go on to the ME charity helpline website they have people who can advise on benefits and work and living with this terrible illness.
The good news is that the NHS are starting to recognise it.
