Most recognise the testing system is not working as it should but key players are scrambling to dodge responsibility.
The coalition has pointed out Labour signed the contract
with Atos
Who is to blame for the storm of controversy surrounding the
fit-for-work tests that are resulting in thousands of people being stripped of
their disability benefits?
After all almost four out of 10 appeal their decisions, with a significant 37% winning their cases.
Critics say that shows that something is going seriously wrong during that original testing period.
But is the company providing a convenient scapegoat for the Government?
Its senior vice president Wayne Gibson told Sky News it was the Department for Work and Pensions that had designed the controversial test.
His company was carrying out instructions passed on from Government, Mr Gibson said.
He also rejected suggestions - some from inside Whitehall - that tests are being conducted by people without medical training.
Every single professional who made assessments was either a doctor, nurse or physiotherapist, the executive said.
Meanwhile, the Department of Work and Pensions is trying to distance itself from the company, with sources stressing the previous Labour Government signed the contract.
Even David Cameron is taking a stand - admitting in Parliament that all MPs had heard stories like that of David and Lyn Coupe.
His spokesman said he was looking into the case and said Atos staff were being "re-trained" to drive up quality.
There is also the hanging threat that it is soon planning to diversify the providers.
Most seem to agree that the system is not right - the question is whether it can be fixed with the buck failing to stop at any one organisation's door.
