found some more figures at present they are going through 1.5m claims.

333.000 are appealing the decision thats alot appeals. The appeal process increased as they expect it to peak at 500,000 next years wow. The costs so far for appeals has been 50m to government. The appeals success is 40% that equates to 200,000 but we cant go by this as it will flucturate batch of losses will reduce likewise the other way.
So as rough safe 150,000 will fail. I would assume as the likely hood its been targeted on scale we will see less and less appeals but then it flies against the expecting 500,000 appeals. I would be suprised they randomly selecting would targeted illnesses they likely to see chances of either it was fake or they not disabled for support.
They concluded from the first 141.000 assessed 37% been found fit for work.
Which means the government very premature with its anouncement if it only had 141,000 figures.
The other I dont like is the mistakes they should do proper assessment with profesionals to minimise those errors.

This was such horror story mistakes like this can put a disabled person health at risk. Whether the lady filled the form right another question its been noted the questionairres very poorly done its confusing even those who work in organisations who help fill them in. So if these struggling you can imagine issues arise.

A Yorkshire bureau saw a woman in her forties who was working full-time and was enthusiastically looking forward to starting a new job, when she became ill. At first it was thought she had a viral illness, but she was subsequently diagnosed with lupus erythematosus and transverse myelitis. She was in a great deal of pain in her muscles and joints and had extreme fatigue. At times her balance was affected and she could not walk without someone to support her. Sometimes she lost sensation in her legs, and on her worst days she could not walk at all. Any exertion such as walking 40 or 50 metres led to days in bed. She had had a bad reaction to some of the treatment and an ECG showed her heart muscle had been damaged. Her husband had to come home from work each lunchtime to help her. Her immune system was weakened, so she had to be careful when mixing with others. She claimed ESA but was given six points in the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) and found capable of work. Her doctor supported her claim and she is currently appealing, but under Incapacity Benefit she would probably have been exempt and would have avoided this process
