Re: Benefit cuts are fuelling abuse of disabled people, say charities
Incapacity tests reject 37% of claimants
Quote:
"To have such a high percentage who are fit for work just emphasises what a complete waste of human lives the current system has been," the minister said.
"We know that for many it will be a long haul back to work but it's much better to help them on the journey than to leave them on benefits for the rest of their lives."
However the TUC's general secretary, Brendan Barber, said the test was designed purely to kick people off benefits, "whatever the cost".
