My thoughts are the following…. if this works like health insurance, then the fact that they have never heard of M.E. is actually to your advantage, as long as you will be covered in the future even for a disease that according to them does not exist (yet). This works like insuring a car: all they care about is to assess the risk of the accident – in this case you getting ill or losing your job – and how expensive you are going to be in case you need treatment or stop working. They usually have their classification of diseases then they check your age and all those sort of risk factors and they determine your premium based on how you score within their classification. In fact, when you just had skin cancer, you were turned down because your risk was way too high. Now, if M.E. is not in their 'classification', they cannot charge you or turn you down for it, can they? =) There we might have found the ONE good thing about the fact that nobody is aware of M.E. =)
In any case, these are just my thoughts, but maybe we can have a look at their paperwork together and try to figure it out.
