I have had a good bit of experience of dealing with these and I certainly tell people to provide lots of evidence. The full range of information is needed to make a decision. However, I have seen cases reversed or where there is a more favourable treatment where there has not been much additional information. My question is whether it would be useful to look again at the process for value for money reasons and given the administrative hours required to deal with this when a large proportion succeed on appeal, albeit that is of a small proportion who apply.
