uin	281696
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Waiting times for appeals against decisions made about Personal Independence Payment (PIP) are published at:</p><p>www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics</p><p> </p><p>The average time for a decision to be made in the appeal stage of a PIP application for those transferring from disability living allowance in the period April 2018 to March 2019 (the latest period for which data are available) is 35 weeks<sup> 1</sup></p><p> </p><ol><li>Data include cases cleared with and without a Tribunal hearing. An SSCS appeal may be captured more than once as a clearance should the original decision be overturned, set aside or if an Upper Tribunal re-hearing is granted. The data are based on the time from receipt in HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) to the last decision within the input period.</li></ol><p> </p><p>Although care is taken when processing and analysing the data, the details are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale case management system and are the best data that are available. The data are a subset of official statistics extracted from the case management system on a different date.</p><p> </p><p>Waiting times are calculated from receipt of an appeal to its final disposal. An appeal is not necessarily disposed of at its first hearing. The final disposal decision on the appeal may be reached after an earlier hearing had been adjourned (which may be directed by the judge for a variety of reasons, such as to seek further evidence), or after an earlier hearing date had been postponed (again, for a variety of reasons, often at the request of the appellant). An appeal may also have been decided at an earlier date by the First-tier Tribunal, only for the case to have gone on to the Upper Tribunal, to be returned once again to the First-tier, for its final disposal.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 09/09/2019 08:53:46 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
