Mr. Rendel: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security since the commencement of the Benefit Integrity Project, (a) how many people have requested an expedited appeal hearing on the grounds of hardship, (b) how many of these requests have been accepted by the Independent Tribunal Service and (c) what steps have been taken to inform people that they may request an expedited appeal hearing.

The Independent Tribunal Service does not routinely advise people that they may request an expedited appeal hearing but will consider any written requests received.
