Answer
The First-tier Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support), administered by HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS), hears appeals against Department for Work and Pensions' (DWP) decisions on a range of benefits.
HMCTS does not record data specifically relating to appeals against sanctions imposed by DWP and does not therefore hold the information requested.
