For those not on FB, the MEA on FB said:

Are you having problems with income protection policies? Can you help a journalist?

If you are having problems with an income protection policy and are being told you must take part in a CBT and/or a GET management programme in order to qualify for payments, or for payments to be continued, and you would be willing to speak to a journalist who is investigating ICPs and ME/CFS please contact us.

Email: admin@meassociation.org.uk.

We will then pass your information to the journalist involved.

Thank you.

Thanks Sasha, is it just me or has there been an increase in the number of UK journalists interested in our thoughts recently?

 

That stock photo must be from the 1980s - there'll be a cassette tape in that dictaphone, I used to use one just like it - do I also see a pen and paper? Sends me harking back to my days working in an office just off Fleet Street, after all the journalists moved out and the lawyers moved in. I hope the digital revolution didn't passed this journalist by, I have a mental image of him grabbing his raincoat and rushing off for a meeting in the nearest pub to get his scoop.

 

Is it possible to paste a contact for those not connected to face book?

Good idea! I've edited the OP.
