The table shows the number of invalidity pension claims received, disallowed, appealed and overturned by the appeals office (AO) for period requested.
Period | Received | Disallowed | Appealed | Overturned by AO |
---|---|---|---|---|
2018 | 10,967 | 4,601 | 1,387 | 466 (458 allowed, 8 partially allowed) |
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
