Any word Exact phrase Welcome to the East Lancs ME/CFS Online Resource. We are an online support service for people with ME/CFS and related conditions and their families, carers and friends. We cover the following areas: Blackburn/Darwen Burnley Hyndburn Pendle Ribble Valley Rossendale The website provides information on many matters related to ME including where to obtain assistance with benefits claims and filling in forms such as Employment and Support Allowance (for new claimants), Incapacity Benefit/Income Support (for existing claimants) and Disability Living Allowance (for those under 65 at the time of claiming). NB in late 2008 the East Lancs ME/CFS Support Group, whose webmaster (himself with moderate ME) founded this website, announced plans to amalgamate with the Central Lancashire ME/CFS Support Group. The groups have how merged and contact details can be found by clicking on the link on the left.
