This 42% was not out of the general number of people who had applied, but of the people who had previously been denied. The more interesting question is the 58% who had been previously denied and were subsequently accepted. One of the things the government had done was provide more medically trained people to evaluate these claims. I believe they mentioned nurse practitioners.
Could that have been a factor in why they were accepted on their second go around, or whether there's any other factor that you can think of?
