answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2018 answer text <p>Personal Independence Payment (PIP) was introduced in 2013 by the Department for Work and Pensions, and extended incrementally over subsequent years. In 2013-14 1,107 appeals were received by Her Majesty’s Courts &amp; Tribunals Service – 104,205 were received in 2016-17. As would be expected, the average age of cleared PIP appeals has increased over this period and performance during 2013-14 cannot be regarded as typical.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 21/05/2018 16:49:48 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2018 answer text <p>HM Courts &amp; 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> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 26/03/2018 15:01:16 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
