Quarterly statistics Ministry of Justice Tribunal Statistics Quarterly, April to June 2019 show a further decrease in success rate for claimants-
62% had the initial decision revised in favour of the claimant (down from 70% in 2020).
This overturn rate varied by beneft type, with PIP at 70%, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) 65%, Employment Support Allowance (ESA) 57%, and UC 46%.
PIP and UC appeals accounted for 61% and 15% of all SSCS receipts respectively in April to June 2021.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) changes to beneft processes in response to the pandemic, such as the temporary suspension of face-to-face assessments for health and disability-related benefts, will have contributed to a fall in SSCS tribunal receipts.
SSCS tribunal receipts decreased by 10% this quarter, to 19,000 appeals, when compared to April to June 2020.
the mean age of a case at disposal was 39 weeks, 8 more weeks than in the same period in 2020.
