Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of people who registered an appeal against their benefit decision were awarded benefit at the first stage of appeal in the most recent 12 months for which data is available.

The information requested is not readily available and to provide would incur disproportionate cost.

Some information regarding volumes and proportions of people who appealed to a tribunal and were awarded benefit can be found in the Tribunal Statistics quarterly main tables published by the Ministry of Justice, available at the link below:
