Are any other potential negatives that we should be aware of?

Feel free to come in now.

Thanks. Those comments were really helpful. If no one else wants to come in, I will just hand over—[Interruption.] I am sorry. I will bring in Dr Brawley, who is online.

Does anyone else want to come in before I move to the next question?

It does. Thank you.

CPAG has suggested that it should be possible to reinstate redetermination requests that have been withdrawn because the client changed their mind—as we have just discussed. How would that work in practice?

Perhaps Diane Connock could come back in in a wee second.

More generally, I am also interested in how the First-tier Tribunal hearings are operating in relation to the Scottish benefits. Are there any concerns that you want to highlight to us while you are here? Is there anything you want?

Good morning, panel. It is great to see you all this morning. Thanks for your time.

The bill makes changes to revisions for late requests for redeterminations and appeals. Will those changes improve the client experience? What other changes to redetermination and appeals timescales are needed? I ask Erica to respond first, if that is okay.

I will stay with you, Mr Gass. What measures are needed to ensure that individuals are not pressured into either lapsing their appeals or withdrawing their redetermination requests? You raise that issue in your written submission, and we know from the 2022-23 statistics that 22 per cent of personal independence payment appeals were lapsed. Can you give us any insight into current DWP practice? Are there any lessons there for Scottish benefits?

Diane, do you want to expand on that, or do you have anything else to say?
