<p>Information about the processes and actions taken regarding lapsed appeals can
be found in the guidance attached.</p><p>To confirm: Where a decision is revised,
and appeal lapsed, we will notify the claimant or their representative in writing
setting out the reasons for the change of decision, and the relevant appeal rights.
Where the revised decision does not give the claimant the level of award they were
seeking on appeal the appeal will not be lapsed without agreement from the claimant
and, where appropriate, their representative, either by telephone or in writing.</p><p>The
revision (and lapse) can be on any ground which has the effect of changing the decision
in the claimant’s favour. Each case is considered on its own merits which of course
means that the numbers lapsed will vary over time.</p>
