Ministry of Justice written question – answered at on 6 June 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many appellants in (a) Coventry, (b) the West Midlands and (c) England are waiting for the Tribunals Service to list their Fist-Tier Tribunal Social Security and Child Support appeal in respect of personal independence payment.
There are always a number of ‘live’ appeals which are at the various stages of processing before being listed for a tribunal hearing. This does not just include those waiting for a listing date to be allocated. The data also include appeals which may not require a final hearing; have had an initial hearing but have not had a final decision; or are stayed, pending the outcome of other proceedings.
As at 31 December 2015 (the latest period for which data have been published) there were a total of 213 PIP live appeals in the Coventry venues; 1,834 in the West Midlands[1]; and 16,178 in England[2].
Information in relation to SSCS appeals is published in the Tribunal and Gender Recognition Certificate Statistics Quarterly. The most recent report, for the period October to December 2015, published on 10 March 2016, can be viewed at:
