Technical Advisory Branch (TAB) "Research" document on Fibromyalgia.

The request was partially successful.

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

I am requesting access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), to the following information:

[ START SCOPE OF REQUEST ]

The Technical Advisory Branch compiles research on particular diagnoses. This type of document has been released previously as a part of FOI 23/24-1015, FOI 23/24-0467 and FOI 21/22-1232.

I am requesting the TAB's research document regarding "Fibromyalgia".

[ END SCOPE OF REQUEST ]

INFORMATION TO CLARIFY AND AID YOUR SEARCH:

These documents are written by TAB staff and most often titled "Research Paper", "Research Request", or "Research", plus the conditions name; although I ask you to please provide any document that fits the general description of a research report on Fibromyalgia, regardless of it’s exact title.

Please be sure to communicate this to the TAB in your search, and provide the documents released under the previous FOI requests mentioned for their reference.

I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,
Emily Lacey
