DWP guidance update - meeting arranged
Following all the messages of concern that have been received by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) on this issue a further meeting has been arranged for Monday 17 October to discuss the content of the proposed new medical guidance on ME/CFS for DLA, Attendance Allowance and Carers Allowance decision makers.
And as a result of requests for the DWP to make public the names of the health professionals who have prepared this new guidance, permission has been sought from those involved. We expect a decision on this from a member of their Corporate Medical Group in early September.

Medical Adviser, ME Association
