Could I ask nicely - what is the point of this thread?
We all know about the Tribunals and the percentage that overturn a previous DWP decision.
To be honest there is more than one reason for this. and the main one lies with the claimant themselves.
For some reason you are intent on blaming the assessment process only.
As I have said, in the main, the problem lies much nearer to home.

There were 3.618 million PIP claims registered last year.
1.785m claims were awarded.
781,000 went to MR where 141000 were changed.
I got these statistics from here:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/714950/pip-statistics-to-april-2018.pdf
Now using your statistics if 71% = 14805 people are successful at tribunal then that would mean 20853 people went to tribunal.
So 0.57% percent of applicants went to tribunal.
Therefore 0.40% of applicants actually won at tribunal.
Now that the numbers are in perspective 0.40% of claims were overturned by tribunal which really isn’t a lot is it?
If you take it that 1,833,000 did not receive an award and only 781,000 pursued the appeal process, I'm not too sure what happened to the 'missing' 1,052,000 claimants? I presume that this figure represents claimants that have not yet had an award or maybe some have dropped out of the system altogether. What would be interesting to find out is of those that failed to get an award and did not ask for a MR the reasons for not doing so.
So yes in the round the vast majority of claimants receive the correct level of award first time round and only an extremely small number by comparison go through the appeal process and win at a Tribunal. Something that should be borne in mind when reading postings on this forum.

@gerald ....I'm not specifically who you are referring to when you say "I like how you all just put up numbers..." but I do think it should be noted that you started the post - and the numbers were "put up" by you....

So you are stating the time gap between scheduled appointments is 2 hours ?
No because there is no one else to see. Unless there next appointment has turned up early -
