It’s good if the issue is highlighted. But like a lot of articles, it doesn’t explain the mechanism as to how having CBT and/or GET seen as safe and effective allows disability insurance companies turn down claims (saying patients need to try CBT and/or GET before they will pay) which then leads to some claimants giving up which saves insurance companies potentially a lot of money. I tried to do it in the first post in this thread:
“How payments from insurance companies might potentially bias proponents of CBT and/or GET for ME/CFS (such as the PACE Trial investigators)”

https://www.s4me.info/threads/how-p...fs-such-as-the-pace-trial-investigators.8066/
which includes a link to someone describing how Peter White did this to them:

"PW advising my insurer that my claim should be refused until I undertook CBT/GET again."

So, when I try the link, I find several other articles, but nothing related to the quote. Could someone direct me to the correct article? Thank you!!!
