My partner recently went along with a client to one of these. The guy had a few mental health issues and was refusing to go so she offered to pick him up, take him there and sit in on it.

She wanted to go out of curiosity to see how fairly they were being conducted. She doesn't know if her attending made the difference but they went easy on him and she was surprised that they decided very quickly that he was unfit for work without any persuading required from her.

Knowing the guys history and hearing horror stories on forums she fully expected a problem, but she thought it was conducted fairly and with the right outcome.
