The data requested are not available centrally, and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

Latest figures for Personal Independence Payment (to December 2018) indicate that since it was introduced, 3.9 million decisions have been made. Of these 10% have been appealed and 5% have been overturned at Tribunals.
