The information as requested is not available.

Atos do not make decisions on eligibility for employment and support allowance. Decisions are taken by DWP decision makers, taking account of all the available evidence including the report provided by Atos.

Her Majesty's Court &Tribunal Service (HMCTS) publishes quarterly information on appeals here:
