Notes:

  • All volumes have been rounded to the nearest 5. ‘-‘ represents nil or negligible.
  • Appeals data taken from the DWP administrative data. This may differ from that held by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service for various reasons such as delays in data recording and other methodological differences in collating and preparing statistics.
  • Appeals data up to 30 June 2023 in line with latest published statistics on appeals.
  • The Parliamentary Constituency geography relates to the origin of the claim (i.e. derived from claimant’s postcode) rather than the location of where a tribunal is held.
  • These figures are produced using administrative data. They are not quality assured to Official Statistics standards and may be subject to revision.
  • A lapsed appeal is where DWP changed the decision in the customer’s favour after an appeal was lodged, but before it was heard at a tribunal hearing.
