<p>The table below gives the operational costs for disability benefits for the years
from 2013/14 to 2018/19. This is the only comparable data available for the period
requested due to changes in benefit delivery. The question asks for the cost of ‘administering
reviews’ which is not a recognised DWP terminology so we have assumed the request
is for the cost of Reconsiderations, as well as Appeals.</p><p>Please note that the
data supplied is derived from unpublished management information which was collected
for internal Departmental use only and has not been quality assured to National Statistics
or Official Statistics publication standard. The data should therefore be treated
with caution.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>18/19</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>17/18</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>16/17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>15/16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>14/15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>13/14</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Appeals
