answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2018 answer text <p>In order to respond to a general increase in appeal receipts, HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service has been working with the tribunal’s judiciary both to appoint additional judges and panel members, and take forward initiatives with the potential to increase the capacity and performance of the tribunal. We have recruited extra fee-paid judicial office holders: 250 judges across the First-tier Tribunal, 125 disability-qualified members, and up to 230 medical members. We are also developing a new digital system which enables speedier processing of appeals and a better service for all parties to the proceedings. In addition, we are reviewing current listing practices to increase the number of cases listed on a tribunal session, and introducing case-management “triage” sessions, with the aim of reducing the time taken for appeals to reach final determination. All these measures will increase the capacity of the tribunal, with the aim of reducing waiting times for appellants.</p><p> </p><p>I have met with my counterpart at the Department of Work and Pensions to discuss how our two departments can work together to improve initial decision making and the time it takes for cases to go through the tribunal. Officials from both departments are looking at feedback from the tribunal and at ways in which digitisation might make the system easier to use.</p><p> </p><p>Latest figures indicate that since Personal Independent Payment was introduced, more than 3.1 million decisions have been made, and of these under 9% have been appealed, and 4% have been overturned. For Employment Support Allowance, 8% of all decisions made were appealed, and 4% overturned at tribunals.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 157674 question first answered 04/07/2018 10:07:14 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
