Pension Credit: Appeals

Asked by Mr Peter BedfordConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 28 January 2025UIN 25589

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many Pension Credit decisions have been appealed since 29 July 2024; and what the success rate was of those appeals.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Information about appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support) (SSCS) is published at: www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics.

From 29 July to 30 September 2024 (the latest period for which statistics have been published), the Tribunal received 40 Pension Credit appeals. As of 30 September 2024, (the latest publication) none of those cases had been disposed of, as appeals need time to work their way through the Tribunals system. These disposals will be counted in future quarterly publications.
