This report presents the latest statistics on type and volume of tribunal cases received, disposed of and outstanding and the number of Gender Recognition Certificates applied for and granted in April to June 2020. Additionally this report includes an annual set of statistics on the Employment and Employment Appeal Tribunals for 2019/20.

This report presents the latest statistics on type and volume of tribunal cases received, disposed of and outstanding and the number of Gender Recognition Certificates applied for and granted in October to December 2020. Additionally this report includes one statistical notice covering Detained Immigration Appeals.

The tables in this publication present more frequent and timely information, during the coronavirus outbreak, on the impact on workload volumes and activity across the court and tribunal system, these include:

• Magistrates’ Court workload and hearings
• Crown Court workload, hearings and trials
• Civil Court workload, hearings and orders
• Family Court public and private law workload
• Divorce and Probate workload
• Social Security and Child Support Tribunal workload and hearings
• Immigration & Asylum Tribunal workload and hearings
• Employment Tribunal workload
• Mental Health workload and hearings
• Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal workload and hearings
• Number of face-to-face, video and audio hearings, additionally broken down by region and court type

These figures reflect the data held on the relevant case management systems and hence have some definitional and timing differences from the Official Statistics. They are subject to the data quality issues associated with large administrative systems, including the late reporting of cases and regular updating of case details, which can lead to the figures for previous periods being revised each publication. Revisions to monthly figures are generally small and do not usually change the overall picture of performance. More recent weekly figures are however subject to larger revision and should be treated as provisional. The Official Statistics provide a more comprehensive view of a range of statistics related to court systems, including HMCTS performance, putting the figures in context and analysing the key aspects. Users are advised to use the Official Statistics for most purposes and to use the published management information only to understand the very latest high-level position.

DWP statisticians have improved the methodology of matching the HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) appeals data with ESA administrative data and implemented it in this release. The improved methodology has resulted in increases to the number of appeals for current and historic ESA Work Capability Assessments outcomes. The new methodology however has not changed the overall story or proportions of Work Capability Assessments appeals that are upheld or overturned.

Read the statistics methodology note for more information about this.

This is a summary of the National Statistics on the outcomes of completed Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) Work Capability Assessments (WCA). The publication covers information on both initial and repeat ESA assessments in Great Britain.

Similar to the last publication, this release does not include any information sourced from appeals data and only consists of a reduced set of data tables. This is due to delays with the receipt of the HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) data which did not allow enough time for the inclusion of this data in the release. For future publications we will be able to include a complete back-series covering any missing tables. This release therefore includes:

• WCA outcomes of initial and repeat WCAs to end of September 2020
• End to end initial ESA claim clearance times to end of September 2020
• Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) information to end of January 2021:
  • Number of MR registrations
  • Number of MR decisions
  • MR outcomes by type of decision
  • Median MR clearance time

Only the information for MRs and end-to-end clearance times for initial claims is published on https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/login.xhtml">Stat-Xplore, while the remaining information is published as data tables. Once the issues with the appeals data is resolved, future publications will include a complete backseries covering any missing tables.

This release does not include:

• Outcomes of assessments adjusted for appeal
• Reasons for assignment into Support Group (SG), Work Related Activity Group (WRAG)
• Appeal outcomes for Fit for Work (FfW) decisions
• Numbers from the experimental data which follows customers through the ESA journey, so numbers who complete a WCA, then go through to raise an MR and then go on to appeal
• Incapacity Benefit (IB) reassessment numbers and outcomes adjusted by appeal outcome
• Outcome of assessment by International Classifications of Diseases (ICD) group: Functional impairment reasons for WRAG outcomes

Universal Credit (UC) was rolled out to every Jobcentre across Great Britain by December 2018 and has now replaced income-related ESA for most new claimants. This has greatly changed the volume and composition of new claims to ESA.

Note: Information is only available for claims that began at least 6 months following the assessment date, or 9 months following the date of claim. This is because of the time required for the customer journey to end and for the information recorded to be as complete as possible.
