The following table shows the number of invalidity pension claims received, approved and disallowed for the period requested.
2019 (to 31/08) | 2018 | |
---|---|---|
No of applications received | 7,260 | 10,967 |
* Claims awarded | 5,406 | 7,334 |
Claims disallowed | 3,089 | 4,601 |
Claims withdrawn | 848 | 1,157 |
*Please note that the statistics in relation to awarded cases include cases in the disallowed category which were subsequently awarded following a review or a successful appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
