Abstract
Like Jones and Llewellyn (1917), we consider malingering to encompass all forms of fraud relating to matters of health. This includes firstly, the simulation of disease or disability which is not present; secondly, the much more common gross exaggeration of minor disability; and thirdly, the conscious and deliberate attribution, for personal advantage, of a disability to an injury or accident that did not in fact cause it. This last occurs more commonly when there is tangible organic disability: Fits from which the patient has knowingly suffered for many years may be attributed to minor head injury sustained in a recent accident.
