answer text <p>The department continues to have regular meetings with the Tribunals Service where all aspects of the appeals process, including feedback, are discussed.

answer text <p>The department does not have a Mandatory Reconsideration target for upholding original decisions. The 80 per cent figure, which was used in the answer to a recent Freedom of Information request, is used to assess the accuracy of benefit decisions. In order to ensure we have consistently accurate decisions we track and monitor Mandatory Reconsiderations to assess the quality of our initial decision making and to help understand and improve our processes.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Sickness absence policies are a matter for employers. However, the Government supports employers in managing sickness absence through Fit for Work, which provides an occupational health assessment for those suffering from long term sickness absence; and general health and work advice to employees, employers and GPs. It is free to use for all.</p><p> </p><p>Where an employee may be eligible for statutory sick pay when on sick leave, the employer has responsibility for determining whether they accept that their employee is incapable of work.
