  • Title: The myth of malingering: why individuals withdraw from work in the presence of illness.
    Author: Yelin E.
    Journal: Milbank Q; 1986; 64(4):622-49. PubMed ID: 2950311.
    Abstract:
    Federal policy to provide income to workers disabled by chronic illness has been under attack. Data from the Social Security Administration Survey of Disability and Work reveal that anticipation of higher levels of disability income does not correlate with cessation of work; the nature of illness and the structure of work do. Policies predicated on the myth of malingering will hurt millions of the disabled chronically ill.
