Statistics on mandatory reconsiderations of work capability assessment decisions for Employment and Support Allowance can be found at https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/.

Guidance on how to use Stat-Xplore can be found here: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/index.html. An account is not required to use Stat- Xplore, the ‘Guest Login’ feature gives instant access to the main functions.

Statistics on mandatory reconsiderations of work capability assessment decisions for Universal Credit Work Capability Assessments are not available, but are in phase 3 of the proposed development timeline of those statistics, so are expected to be published in accordance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
