If the dispute is about eligibility to a higher rate and/or different component, as long as eligibility exists, the relevant component will remain in payment during the appeal phase. If a decision is overturned at appeal and the benefit awarded then the payment will be backdated.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 07/09/2018 10:17:04 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

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> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 04/09/2018 15:13:23 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
