answer text <p>Training takes place for groups of appointments of new judicial office holders, once they have been recruited from the competitions run by the Judicial Appointments Commission. Disability Members receive two training days and Medical Members three because they also deal with Employment and Support Allowance as well as Personal Independence Payment, Disability Living Allowance and Attendance Allowance. The most recently appointed Disability Qualified Members completed their induction training in October. Once the members are trained they are eligible to sit straight away.</p> more like this

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. The SSCS jurisdiction will also benefit from the fact that 250 judges are being recruited across tribunals more widely. 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> more like this

For each court closure, we conducted a public consultation exercise and considered the responses we received very carefully.
