Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people have appealed against their original personal independence payment assessment; and how many of those appeals were successful.
The number of Personal Independent Payment (PIP) appeals cleared can be found in the official published statistics: “Tribunals and gender recognition certificate statistics quarterly – July to September 2017”. The relevant data can be found in Table SSCS.3 in the “Data Tables” document. This data shows the number of appeals cleared and their outcomes as a proportion. The data is broken down by year and quarter:
The appeals and overturned figures from the Ministry of Justice statistics will include appeals not related to the decision (e.g. failure to submit the form in time).
