Notes:<\/p>

  1. Estimates are based on the same data source (Annual Population Survey), time period (January-December 2018) and geographical coverage (UK) as the Office for National Statistics (ONS) publication referenced in the question: Personal and economic well-being in the UK: April 2019<\/em> (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/wellbeing/bulletins/personalandeconomicwellbeingintheuk/april2019#while-average-anxiety-levels-reached-a-three-year-low-in-2018-about-103-million-people-continued-to-report-high-anxiety-scores<\/a>).<\/li>
  2. While overall wellbeing estimates published by the ONS cover all adults aged 16 years and over, the breakdowns presented here are limited to those aged 16-64, because most people aged 65 and over are not asked the disability and health questions in this Survey.<\/li>
  3. Following ONS methodology, personal wellbeing is defined not as a single measure, but the four separate measures of life satisfaction, feeling that the things done in life are worthwhile, happiness and anxiety. These scores are self-reported by survey respondents on an 11-point scale, from 0 to 10. \u201cLow\u201d personal wellbeing is defined as those who report a score of 0-4 on life satisfaction, feeling that the things done in life are worthwhile, or happiness, or a score of 6-10 on anxiety.<\/li>
  4. Personal well-being scores are reported by respondents at the time of interview, including how happy or anxious they were \u201cyesterday\u201d, so the respondents identified in this analysis do not necessarily \u201csuffer from\u201d low personal well-being over an extended period.<\/li>
  5. Differences in proportions do not necessarily imply a direct causal relationship.<\/li>
  6. People with long-term health conditions are defined as those who report any physical or mental health conditions or illnesses lasting or expecting to last 12 months or more.<\/li>
  7. Disabled people are defined as those who report a long-term health condition that reduces their ability to carry out day-to-day activities.

    <\/p>

    Since PIP was introduced 3.9m decisions have been made up to December 2018, of these 10% have been appealed and 5% have been overturned.<\/p>

    Data has been rounded to the nearest 10, and the nearest percent respectively.<\/p>

    This data is unpublished data. It should be used with caution and it may be subject to future revision.<\/p>

    Disallowances include those both pre-referral and post-referral to an Assessment Provider.<\/p>

    An appeal can only be made against a decision which has gone through the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) process. The figures above will include decisions which have been changed at MR to award PIP, and where the claimant continues to appeal for a higher PIP award, and are then changed again at tribunal appeal.<\/p>

    Decisions overturned at appeal may include a number of appeals that have been lapsed (which is where DWP changed the decision after an appeal was lodged but before it was heard at Tribunal).<\/p>

    Claimants who have received benefit decisions more recently may not yet have had time to complete the claimant journey and progress to appeal.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4105", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Tomlinson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Justin Tomlinson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-13T10:45:37.22Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Personal Independence Payment: Appeals"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the proportion of rejected claims for personal independence payments that were overturned at tribunal stage in each year since 2014.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/534", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Ruane"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Vale of Clwyd"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chris Ruane"} ], "uin" : "251922"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?answeringDeptShortName=Work%20and%20Pensions&_page=1&_properties=answer.isMinisterialCorrection,legislature,houseId,answer.answeringMemberPrinted&max-date=2019-05-10&max-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2019-05-15T09:21:53.623Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 15311, "type" : "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"} }
