Of treatment of claimants of long-term conditions with ESA. (supposed to be more sensible treatment with fewer reassessments.
It would obviously be valueable to have ME/CFS for those affected long-term in this group, with the stats of recovery being so bad.
I do not know who the stakeholders are, or what group is developing this list inside the DWP, clearly the deadline must be soon. (I also don't know if there have been efforts made already by the community)

Nothing definite, but here’s a recent reference in a written answer where Penny Mordaunt said -
This change will come into effect in autumn 2017 and will apply to those placed in Employment and Support Allowance’s Support Group and the Universal Credit equivalent. We are currently working with stakeholders to develop the new criteria and, when finalised, the amended guidance will be incorporated into the Work Capability Assessment Handbook published annually on GOV.UK. This change will be reflected in the summer 2018 update.
