Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many appeals against the disallowance of (a) employment and support allowance, (b) personal independence payment and (c) disability living allowance lapsed prior to the date of their hearing at the First Tier Tribunal in (a) 2018 and (b) 2019.

This information is not held centrally.

HM Courts and Tribunals Service keeps a statistical record of appeals according to the benefit, and underlying issue, in dispute. However, no issue type corresponds to ‘disallowance’.

General information about appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support) (SSCS) is published at: www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics
