The Dorset ME support group says that in its experience, the high number of people with CFS/ME being found fit for work under the employment and support allowance regulations leads to a high number of appeals, presumably at considerable cost to the taxpayer. It states:
"Within the Dorset ME Support Group, all our ESA Appeals so far have been successful suggesting that the assessment system is not fit for purpose where people with ME is concerned. Disability Analysts are trained to look at the disability and not the nature of the condition... Joined up government seems to be lacking."
