Gathering the right evidence is critical at the MR stage if decisions are not to go to appeal; and we are reviewing our processes to not only obtain this, but to do so whilst continuing to make decisions timeously.</p>

The published data (which can be viewed at the link above) provide information about clearance times for PIP appeals at (a) the hearing venue covering Battersea and (b) nationally from 2015/16; data for the preceding two years are provided below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p>Personal Independence Payment<sup>1</sup></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Fox Court <sup>2</sup></p></td><td><p>National</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Financial Year</p></td><td><p>Average Clearance Time (in weeks)</p></td><td><p>Average Clearance Time (in weeks)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-2014</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p>9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-2015</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>14</p></td></tr></tbody></table><ol><li>PIP was introduced in April 2013 and replaced Disability Living Allowance</li><li>Appeals for those people living in the Battersea area are heard in the Fox Court venue</li></ol><p>~ There were insufficient cases in this period to provide a statistically robust average</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.</p><p> </p><p>Clearance times are calculated from receipt of the 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><p> </p><p>Latest figures (to December 2018) indicate that since PIP was introduced, 3.9 million decisions have been made, and of these 10% have been appealed and 5% have been overturned at tribunals.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
