</p><p>These figures include appeal decisions at tribunal hearing up to 31<sup>st</sup>
December 2022, the latest date for which published data is available. Note that more
appeals could be made and completed after December 2022, so numbers could go up as
it can take some time for an appeal to be lodged and then cleared after the initial
decision.</p><p> </p><p><br> Please note:</p><ul><li>Figures have been rounded to
the nearest 10 and percentages to 1 decimal place.</li><li>Data for England and Wales
(excluding Scotland) has been provided in line with the latest published figures on
PIP.</li><li>These figures include initial decisions following assessment for PIP
New Claims and Reassessments from 1<sup>st</sup> April 2022 – 30<sup>th</sup> September

a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) from DWP. Some of those disallowed following assessment
will have their decision changed at this stage and take the dispute no further. In
some cases, a claimant who has their Disallowed decision changed at MR will continue
to appeal for a higher PIP award, and these cases could be included in the figures
reported.</li></ul><ul><li>A lapsed appeal is where DWP changed the decision in the

hearing.</li></ul>
