97 claimants with pre-settled status have been awarded benefit on the grounds of destitution as a result of the DWP applying the decision in SSWP v AT [2023] EWCA Civ 1307.
In a Freedom of Information request the DWP confirmed that 3079 stayed cases have now been reviewed. The Department does not differentiate between stayed cases and new claims which have been awarded benefit as a result of the application of AT, and so is unable to provide a breakdown on those parameters. A total of 97 claimants are in receipt of a benefit award as a result of the application of AT.
