Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants initially refused employment support allowance have subsequently been awarded that allowance under regulation 29 or regulation 35 at (a) the mandatory reconsideration stage and (b) following an appeal hearing in each of the last four years.
The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
