I thought the figures were 40% deemed fit to work appealled and of those 37-39% succeeded in their appeal with that figure rising to over 70% where they were represented but might be wrong. Pretty pointless to be honest as the WCA is a complete and total joke that is so laughably easy it is very hard to fail the damn thing plenty of testaments to that on the net and from people in the know not just people who failed. Add into that there are some very serious concerns about ATOS and how they run the tests and it is not a fair and proper way to assess fitness anyway.

Fact is this government is not one bit interested in doing right by any group at the minute they are just cutting costs left right and centre saving some money in the short term but likely to cost more in the medium to longterm. Cannot find the link now but a group of consultants have said that forcing people into work which many of them dearly want to do is counter productive in many cases as they will accelerate their conditions meaning more complicated and expensive treatments will be necessary a lot sooner also rendering the individual a lot less independent as well. That seems like common sense to me with regard to some claimants but probably not the majority but for any to be in that position shames us as a country that calls itself developed and civilised.
