answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice is in the process of recruiting extra fee-paid judicial office holders. In the Social Security and Child Support (SSCS) jurisdiction, which is the part of the tribunal system which deals with disability living allowance appeals, 226 new medical members have already been appointed and up to 125 disability-qualified members are currently being recruited.

In addition, we are developing a new digital system to enable speedier processing of appeals and provide a better service for all parties to the proceedings. These measures will increase capacity, helping to reduce waiting times for appellants.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 04/09/2018 15:13:23 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
