Interesting that he chooses 2010 as his historical low for acceptance of claims.
With sbsolutly no sign of realisation. That many of those rejected in the early days. Went on to win court cases at well over 60%.
Now after many lost cases and slow changes in policy. Hmm over 60% acceptance is an issue.
With 0 recognition that people trying to claim such benifits are way more likely to be in need then people not.
He has had it rubbed in his face that the original set up was falsely rejecting claims. Butstill wants to use it as evidence that 22% is the level of acceptance he should expect.
I trully wish KS was willing to challenge him on the utter crap of choosing that date.
