Just had my email from disability and work and apparently appeals have double for the same period last year and 42 % are being upheld. That is a hell of a lot of people given the wrong results.
93000 esa appeals nearly 40000 upheld that is 160 000 a year if it continues wonder how much a tribunal costs ? even if its only £200 ( bet its more than that) that is £32 million spent on appeals when a proper medical and assessment would have saved it. But there were 93000 so make it a conservative average say 300 000 a year @ £200 each is £60 million pounds
Now lets break it down again to claimants one claimant gets around 6500 a year on full ESA so that is 9230 ESA claimants money for a whole year gone and 4500 years money totally wasted on poor assessment
And them figures are low due to me only saying a tribunal costs 200 quid
Not a bad guess as The Independent says tribunals cost 66 million
