Tests determining whether people are fit to work are to be reformed to offer more support and to take greater account of mental health conditions.
An independent review of the Work Capability Assessment, introduced in 2008, has proposed substantial changes to make it "fairer and more effective".
Campaigners say it is flawed and many decisions are overturned on appeal.
Employment Minister Chris Grayling said the test should be "fair and just" while helping people back to work.
Review from 2008. Its about time. Maybe NOW we can expect to see ATOS stop acting in such a fraudulent and immoral way. Not that this report has stopped the DWP from continuing to use these tests in the mean-time. As always people, APPEAL APPEAL APPEAL and this time mention that the tests have been found unfit for purpose.
