To be clear, 'Employment adviser' is a broad term which isn't specific to the employment advisors in IAPT programme - I'll flag that in my post.
I don't imply that AfME are colluding on IAPT. But I don't think they should be feeding back SEE M.E. to the WHU when PwME are being referred under...
It's a very good, clear letter.
Action for ME previously fed SEE M.E project findings back to the joint Work and Health Unit as part of the WHU Expert Advisory Group. I'm not sure when the toolkit was published or whether this was provided to the WHU or WHU EAG.

For interest, I had a bit of a Google to see what early references I could find on the exact term, 'persistent physical symptoms'. I'm sure it can be traced back further, but the earliest references I've encountered so far online are found in a couple of late 90's publications co-authored by a...

According to Benefits & Work, Sarah Newton has stated 'the live testing trial' of video recording of PIP assessments is starting this month.
