Social Security Benefits: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment the Department has made of the impact of recent policy changes on the proportion of disability benefit decisions overturned at appeal.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Department is committed to monitoring the impacts of its policies.
Information about disability benefit appeal overturns can be retrieved from StatXplore, HMCTS’ quarterly statistics, or the Department’s quarterly PIP statistics. The latter includes information about clearances and volumes at all stages of PIP decision making.
