The term “fatigue” trivialises the illness and discourages research into potential treatments.<a href="#cite_note-cfsyuppie-89">[89]</a> According to a survey of medical trainees at a school in the United States, a condition described as "chronic fatigue syndrome" is considered less serious than a condition described as "myalgic encephalopathy".<a href="#cite_note-pmid11928774-90">[90]</a><a href="#cite_note-Tuller_2015-91">[91]</a> The term myalgic encephalomyelitis has also been criticised, as the symptom <a href="/wiki/Myalgia" title="Myalgia">myalgia</a> (muscle pain) is not experienced by everyone with the disease. Additionally, before ME/CFS was considered a biological condition, the name ME was seen as reinforcing the illness as it “legitimised” patient’s symptoms.<a href="#cite_note-Tuller_2015-91">[91]</a> In 2015 the National Academy of Medicine recommended changing the name to Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) in their report "Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness"'. However, this new name was not widely adopted.<a href="#cite_note-Institute_of_Medicine._2015-83">[83]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Disability_compensation">Disability compensation</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Controversies_related_to_ME/CFS&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Disability compensation">edit</a>]</div> Despite being a disabling condition that leaves around 75% of patients unable to work, people with ME/CFS are often dismissed when applying for disability compensation.<a href="#cite_note-Institute_of_Medicine._2015-83">[83]</a><a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="UK_psychosocial_controversy">UK psychosocial controversy</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Controversies_related_to_ME/CFS&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: UK psychosocial controversy">edit</a>]</div> Despite being classified as a biological illness by national health bodies, the Department for Work and Pensions classifies ME/CFS as a psychosocial illness, which means sufferers are entitled to lower benefits. A 2006 report by the UK Parliamentary Group on Scientific Research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis stated that: "CFS/ME is defined as a psychosocial illness by the <a href="/wiki/Department_for_Work_and_Pensions" title="Department for Work and Pensions">Department for Work and Pensions</a> (DWP) and medical insurance companies. Therefore, claimants are not entitled to the higher level of benefit payments. We recognise that if CFS/ME remains as one illness and/or both remain defined as psychosocial then it would be in the financial interest of both the DWP and the medical insurance companies." The Group called for investigation of what they called, "numerous cases where advisors to the DWP have also had consultancy roles in medical insurance companies. Particularly the Company <a href="/wiki/Unum" title="Unum">UNUMProvident</a>. Given the vested interest private medical insurance companies have in ensuring CFS/ME remain classified as a psychosocial illness there is blatant conflict of interest here." The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions responded that "Entitlement to Disability Living Allowance depends on the effects that severe physical or mental disability has on a person's need for personal care and/or their ability to walk, and not on particular disabilities or diagnoses. The benefit is available to people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (which can have a physical basis or a psychological basis, or can be due to a combination of factors) on exactly the same terms as other severely disabled people, and they can qualify for it provided that they meet the usual entitlement conditions."<a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a> This runs contrary to current scientific evidence which shows ME/CFS is "unambiguously biological". <a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Controversies_related_to_ME/CFS&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: References">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-Thoma_2023-1">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Thoma_2023_1-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Thoma_2023_1-1">b</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Thoma_2023_1-2">c</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Thoma_2023_1-3">d</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Thoma_2023_1-4">e</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFThomaFroehlichHattesohlQuante2023" class="citation journal cs1">Thoma M, Froehlich L, Hattesohl DB, Quante S, Jason LA, Scheibenbogen C (December 2023). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10819994">"Why the Psychosomatic View on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Is Inconsistent with Current Evidence and Harmful to Patients"</a>.
