Lowest Approval Rate In History

From a press release issued by the Council for Disability Awareness (which appears to be a Long Term Disability Insurance industry group):

The number of workers applying for SSDI disability payments increased to 2.2 million in 2007, 2.6% more that in 2006, while the number of disabled workers approved for payments declined to 37.6 percent, the lowest approval rate in the history of the program.
