[The Social Security Court and verdicts on appeals from fibromyalgia patients. Central problems and dilemmas].
The article contains a discussion of conditions which may influence valuations of appeals to the Social Security Court from persons with the diagnosis fibromyalgia. An important question is to what extent economic depression and growing requirements for rights regarding grants from the Social Security System are of importance for the decisions. Of vital significance is the definition of disease in relation to Acts and regulations, especially the distinction between objective and subjective documentation of disease. The court's decisions function as guiding directives for the Social Insurance System in general. This implies that the Social Security Court can function as a social-political corrective.
