<p>HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) does collect data on various types of
issue that may be disputed in an appeal before the First-tier Tribunal (Social Security
and Child Support) (SSCS). These include entitlement to, or rate of payment of, a
particular benefit, such as personal independence payments. However, data on satisfaction
levels of claimants is not currently collected centrally.</p><p>The Government is
investing in the modernisation of our courts and tribunals. The SSCS Track My Appeal
project will provide users appealing a social security decision through a tribunal
with a digital service which allows them to track their appeal through SMS, email,
and an online platform. The digital process will give appellants clear, accessible
and regular updates on the progress of their appeal. The new service is due to roll
out nationally later this year and HMCTS will collect user satisfaction data on the
service.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
