<p>This information is not held centrally.</p><p> </p><p>HM Courts & Tribunals
Service (HMCTS) records numbers, waiting times and outcomes of appeals by benefit
type, but will not necessarily identify appeals made specifically because applications
for benefit were unsuccessful. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) consists of a daily
living and a mobility component, both or either of which can be paid at standard or
enhanced rate. Therefore, claimants for PIP may have claimed for both components,
and only been awarded one, or sought the enhanced rate and only been awarded the standard
rate. A claim may be successful, but may not have been at the level sought. HMCTS
is unable to isolate such appeals.</p><p> </p><p>Information about the volumes and
outcomes of PIP appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support)
(SSCS) is published at:</p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>Latest figures (to June 2018) indicate that since PIP was introduced, 3.5 million
decisions have been made, and of these 9% have been appealed and 4% have been overturned
at tribunals.</p>
