Court of Session

The appeal tribunal decision carries a further right of appeal, but only on a point of law, to the Social Security and Child Support Commissioners. This route can be exercised by either the applicant or DWP if they disagree with the decision. There is a further right of appeal from the Commissioners to the Court of Appeal or the Court of Session, and then to the House of Lords and European Court. Between 200,000 and 250,000 appeals are handled every year, and some 6,500 of these go on to the Commissioners or higher appeals (NAO 2003). Separately from the decision making and appeals process, claimants may complain about the handling of the administrative aspects to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration (the Ombudsman) through their Member of Parliament.
