Woman 'allergic to wi-fi' granted disability allowance by French court

I don&#x27;t think the court is necessarily saying electromagnetic hypersensitivity is real, or taking a position that it is caused by wifi rather than being psychosomatic. I think the court may be saying, &quot;There is obviously something quite wrong with you, to the point where it&#x27;s clear you can&#x27;t work.&quot; Which is a subtle nuance that seems to be missing from the coverage I&#x27;ve read on this.<p>Such an approach is not that far away from giving a disability allowance for mental illness, and refreshingly focuses on acknowledging the effect of her &#x27;condition&#x27; rather than arguing about the cause.

The results of a blind test would be very interesting.
