HL Deb 14 September 2001 vol 627 cc43-4WA
Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

In how many cases the withdrawal of disability living allowance following medical examinations by the SEMA company, on behalf of the Benefits Agency, was reversed by appeal tribunals in the last full year for which figures are available. [HL569]

Baroness Hollis of Heigham

The information is not available, as statistics on the outcomes of appeals do not distinguish cases where the original decision appealed against was made following a medical examination.
