I'm looking for the study now and can't find it, but it was shown somewhere a few months back that in fact total/all-cause disability rates are not increasing. They dropped over the pandemic itself (because when you're not working you tend not to seek treatment for low-impact conditions like long covid), bounced back, and have now leveled off roughly where they were.
That is, "long covid" ended up displacing a bunch of other, routine long term disability diagnoses by giving them a name and a focus.
But I can't find it right now, so it's possible I'm misremembering the spin. Maybe someone else can help.
