Good 'Morning

I have been diagnosde with Fibomalgia 3 years ago. My case is at a very late stage. I have been struggling with Liberty Life for a Disability/medical claim which have been dreclined several times. They have comunicated with my Reumatologist Dr. Clive Pettipher and he have inform them that he can not help me with any more meds for this decease. They dont seem to have the medical experience to understand the illness and pay out according to my illness. I have given this case to the Ombudsman of Liberty but it seem like still no luck for compensation. I had to stop working Sept 2011 due to my illness and have no income but still the expences for the medical bills keeps accumalating every month. I had to cancel my medical aid and now i cannot afford to see any more specialists and doctors. The ombudsman gave them till 10th April for final decision whether or not they will pay out or compensate me. I have not ask for this decease and i find it hard and unfair not to be cdompensated. Please can you give me advise.
