1/3 NEW MOD Updated Guidance Published! The JSP 950 Leaflet 6-7-7 V3.2 Effective from 10 Feb 2026 has updated the guidance from previously stating CBT and GET have 'definite benefit' to now stating the 'most up-to-date NICE guidance' should be followed. Screenshot highlighting differences between old MOD guidance on ME/CFS and updated version with highlights
2/3 The 'The Influence of Particular Conditions on Medical Fitness for Entry' remains unchanged with 'no ongoing symptoms' having 'resolved for at least two years' being the requirement. This essentially means that a full and sustained recovery is required to not be deemed UNFIT. Screenshot of old and new MOD guidance compared showing no changes

“As my daughter died of ME, the state met in secret to blame me”

“Maeve Boothby O’Neill’s mother had no idea she was being accused in private of causing or fabricating the illness that would take her life aged 27”

“A mother's fight for better palliative care for her ME-stricken daughter, 27, was perceived as something darker by the state. Official documents reveal they even discussed forcibly separating them, writes Emily Dugan” Image of what the article looks like in print.

1/9 Yes. The MOD have updated their recruitment criteria, here's a thread on the recent changes regarding #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis... it's shocking! 🧵
2/9 The MOD uses the 'Joint Service Manual of Medical Fitness' to determine who is fit and unfit for recruitment. A recent FOl request in October 2024 here, , requested an up to date copy. The MOD replied in November 2024.whatdotheyknow.com/request/jsp_95…

1/6 Thank you for the interest in the DWP's PIP data's recent reclassification of ME/CFS from Musculoskeletal to Neurological. I've just discovered how to use the DWP's 'Stat-Xplore' and have found the ME/CFS and Long Covid data interesting... see graphs below! 📈
2/6 Here is ME, or as the DWP calls it 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome'. Looks like there has been a recent uptick in 'PIP Clearances' Image
3/6 Here is Long Covid or as the DWP calls it 'Coronavirus COVID-19' 'PIP Clearances' Image

Can someone help me find out how the DWP classifies ME and LC? The IFS, FT, think tanks and journalists are frequently referencing DWP PIP data. The data shows 'Mental and Behavioural Disorders' and 'Musculoskeletal Diseases' as rising the fastest. DWP data misleading?
Can someone trawl through the raw data to see? I don’t know if this is the correct place… stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/log…
I found this fascinating article from 2011 on this topic and I am wondering if DWP ME classification has changed since?
