Statistics
The data sources which underpin all re-determinations and appeals reporting are under review as part of a continuous improvement exercise. A decision has been made by Statisticians at Social Security Scotland to remove two measures from all statistics publications until further notice.
These measures were removed from the Child Disability Payment statistics published on 18 February 2025. The measures will be subsequently removed from other benefit publications across the coming months. See the below Data and Methodology Changes document for more information.
The data and methods underpinning Social Security Scotland statistics are routinely reviewed in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics. Ongoing data quality issues and revisions made to the statistics are detailed in our Data and Methodology Changes document. More information on how we create and use statistics can be found on our About Statistics page.
