MORE than £100 million has been spent on administering reviews and appeals against disability benefit claims in just over two years, figures released today show.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spending is in addition to the tens of millions spent every year by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on appeals.

Disability benefits make up the bulk of these MoJ tribunals and about two-thirds of them have been won by claimants in the past year.
