About this site

ESA Appeal Help is an independent information directory about challenging Employment and Support Allowance decisions: the mandatory reconsideration process, the deadlines, and the official tribunal statistics. It is not connected to the DWP, the tribunal, or any government body, and it does not give legal or benefits advice.

Sources

• HMCTS Tribunal statistics quarterly: April to June 2026 — Main Tables, SSCS_3 (ESA column). Checked at source 2026-10-09.
• gov.uk — Appeal a benefit decision — MR and appeal process, deadlines.
• The Employment and Support Allowance Regulations 2013 — the Work Capability Assessment framework.

Editorial line

Every statistic carries its source and its check date. Where a figure is provisional (p) or revised (r), we say so. We never mix ESA and PIP statistics — the two benefits have different case-mixes and different outcomes.
