I am not counting those as refusals until a person has gone through the review and appeal. How many get turned down at the end of the process? Everything else is only interim. The claim is live as long as there is no final decision. What we are looking for is the number of refusals as a final decision. I accept what Mr. Hession is saying. We all know the certification can be an issue. Some people miss the point that it is the ability to work rather than what is wrong with them that is the issue. What we are looking for is data on final refusals.
