The document appears to be the results of a consultation survey conducted by Action for M.E. regarding welfare reform and the Work Capability Assessment in the UK. The survey asked questions about whether the assessment accurately identifies those with M.E. who should be in the support or work-related activity groups. Additional questions addressed experiences with past assessments, the impact of assessments on health, and views on new proposals to support returning to employment. The responses showed that most felt the assessment does not accurately identify capability levels and that health has been negatively impacted. When asked about changes to make work easier, increased understanding of M.E. was most commonly cited.
