I doubt very much if the assessors are penalised if a decision is overturned on appeal.
IMHO due to the number and cost of appeals then if overturned the company which did the assessment should be charged for the cost as there was an obvious error in the assessment. The problem here though is that a claimant isn't required to explain what their disability is but how it affects them which many claimants have a problem with, especially those who fill the form in themselves. They just don't realise that the priority has changed.
