Just to be clear the ruling did not prevent claimants with MH problems from being placed in the SG under Regulation 35 (Exceptional Circumstances), rather it stated that the DWP would need to provide examples of any Work Related Activity that the claimant would be required to do if they contested such a placement, it was this that the DWP challenged.
However, the DWP have withdrawn their appeal and there should now be no issues associated with this route to the SG other than showing that your performing WRA would be a danger to your health or that of others (shortened version), this can be accepted by the DWP or if not pursued through an appeal, which is no different from what it has always been.
I hope this explains it better.
