Joshua is concerned that there has been an increase in the number of people claiming to be disabled by stress or feigning physical injuries in order to receive government disability payments. What concept best identifies Joshua's concern?

Answer 1

Answer:

malingering

Explanation:

In the English language, malingering can be described as a term which is used for people who pretend to be ill or exaggerate an illness to escape from work or get payments.
