This is very important information. Ms Gordon is saying that of the appeals which go to her office and result in a favourable outcome, which is some 60% of all appeals received by the office, 40% of that 60% - which amounts to approximately 25% of the total - are revised by the original deciding officer, perhaps having had the benefit of a more recent medical report.
