</p><p> </p><p>Data has been rounded to the nearest 10.</p><p>Appeals data is taken
from the DWP PIP computer system’s management information. Therefore this appeal data
may differ from that held by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) for
various reasons such as delays in data recording and other methodological differences
in collating and preparing statistics.</p><p>PIP data includes normal rules and special
rules for the terminally ill claimants, and is for both new claims and DLA reassessment
claims.</p><p>The Local Authority and Region geography relates to the origin of the
claim rather than the location of where the tribunal was held.</p><p>Decisions overturned
at appeal may include a small number of appeals that have been lapsed (which is where
DWP changed the decision after an appeal was lodged but before it was heard at Tribunal).</p><p>The
figures do not include withdrawals or strike outs.</p><p>Official statistics on appeals
based on HMCTS data are published by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and can be found
