Default Incapacity tests reject 37% of claimants

I'm wondering how fair these tests are because whilst I accept there are those who con the system I know of three people who are clearly in need of said benefit but have recently had it taken away from them.

Quote:
More than a third of incapacity benefit claimants being reassessed for the new Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) have been deemed fit to work.
Of the first 141,100 claimants reviewed since last April, 37% would no longer be paid the benefit, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said.
