</p><p>This data on MR clearance times is unpublished data. It should be used with
caution and it may be subject to future revision.</p><p> </p><p>MR is a key element
of the decision making process for both the Department and claimants, and whilst ensuring
they make quality decisions, decision makers work hard to clear applications without
delay. Gathering the right evidence is critical at the MR stage if decisions are not
to go to appeal; and we are reviewing our processes to not only obtain this, but to
do so whilst continuing to make decisions timeously.</p>
