More details from petition creator

The latest DWP Guidelines and PACE are still directing the Health
Service to treat ME suferrers with GET and CBT (a tool used for mental
illnesses) despite the mounting evidence from a vast amount of research
proving that ME is an organic not a psychosomatic disease and that the
treatments forced onto those affected do in fact cause more harm than
good and can worsen the condition of patients. Money should instead be
invested in research into the physiologocal aetiology of ME/CFS and its
treatment. Patients should not be forced into becoming psychiatric cases
or lose their benefits.
