disability living allowance and (b) personal independence payment at a tribunal in

data on various types of issue that may be disputed in an appeal before the First-tier
Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support) (SSCS). These include entitlement to,
or rate of payment of, a particular benefit. However, the issue specified in Question
130495 (and 132503) - “withdrawal” of disability living allowance or personal independence
payment - is not included in the list of categories recorded. HMCTS does not, therefore,
hold the information requested.</p><p> </p><p>Information about the volumes and outcomes
