Thanks everyone! This is all very helpful – the woman I spoke to on the phone on Friday didn't know squat. I asked her who decided whether someone symptoms were "significant" and on what basis – she said "the decision-makers decide. I am not a decision-maker. You fill out your application, it gets sent to the decision-makers, and they decide." She seemed very eager for me to apply for disability, too.

If documentation is what you need, I certainly have that, having been diagnosed many years ago.

Thanks again,
Rosie
