It has been mentioned (by Skinner IIRC) that CWW has fibromyalgia. Others have suggested CWW might be collecting Social Security Disability. Here is some interesting information about the Evaluation of Fibromyalgia by the SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION for Disability Insurance:

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION – Disability Insurance
Effective Date: July 25, 2012
POLICY INTERPRETATION RULING
SSR 12-2p: Titles II and XVI: Evaluation of Fibromyalgia
Purpose: This Social Security Ruling (SSR) provides guidance on how we develop evidence to establish that a person has a medically determinable impairment (MDI) of fibromyalgia (FM), and how we evaluate FM in disability claims and continuing disability reviews under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act).[SUP][1][/SUP]
EXCERPT:
Policy Interpretation
I. What general criteria can establish that a person has an MDI of FM? Generally, a person can establish that he or she has an MDI of FM by providing evidence from an acceptable medical source.[SUP][3][/SUP] A licensed physician (a medical or osteopathic doctor) is the only acceptable medical source who can provide such evidence. We cannot rely upon the physician's diagnosis alone. The evidence must document that the physician reviewed the person's medical history and conducted a physical exam. We will review the physician's treatment notes to see if they are consistent with the diagnosis of FM, determine whether the person's symptoms have improved, worsened, or remained stable over time, and establish the physician's assessment over time of the person's physical strength and functional abilities.
