Absolutely – I think one of the most problematic things is what 'able to do' means. There's a perception among employers and personnel managers...
I think it might be useful to find an additional measure when it comes to ME. I don't consider myself housebound at all, for instance, but I can't...
I'm not disagreeing with you – or anyone else for that matter – but my MP, and his very long-standing predecessor, would say exactly the same....
