Can't find this section
Disability benefits section is missing. This is an absolutely key controversy - the PACE trial lead author has repeatedly advised the UK social security system on how to justify the removal of disability benefits, including writing an occupational health guide including CFS. He was lead author on the PACE trial but failed to disclose this to those enrolled - a major ethical violation. The citation for this is the 2011 PACE trial, further references are on the PACE trial page. The PACE trial was part funded by the UK Department of Work and Pensions - also known as the social security system. This is not merely a one-off activity but something White has been involved in for decades, along with Share. White has also advised the private health insurance industry how to avoid paying out on claim for CFS, especially UnumProvident. The UK social security system was totally changed - with great controversy - around 10 years ago with all disability benefits now being assessed using only the biopsychosocial model. See Mansel and Aylward. White and others in the Wessely school have been repeatedly named in parliament about this behavior and harm caused to CFS patients and others. White and Sharpe's documentation remains a further reference for assessment of disability in CFS.

I am happy to provide extra references if needed on this. notjusttired (talk) 19:20, August 19, 2019 (EDT)

Dr Sarah Myhill
She raised a complaint with the General Medical Council (GMC) about White, Sharpe and others. White resigned from *clinical work* a year before his normal retirement date, at a time when he was known to have been reported for investigation and at risk y losing his license to practice (both medicine and psychiatry licenses need the GMC registration). I am not aware of him retiring from clinical research. notjusttired (talk) 19:20, August 19, 2019 (EDT)
