Social Security Experience Panels - re-determinations and appeals, fraud and special measures for COVID-19: main report
Provides an overview of findings from research exploring panel members’ views on proposed changes (enhanced administration powers) to aspects of Social Security Scotland’s systems and processes regarding re-determinations, appeals, fraud, and special measures for late re-determinations, appeals and applications.
Annex C: Number of participants by topic
Participants for the interviews and focus groups were able to choose which topics they were consulted on during the fieldwork. As a result, participant numbers varied by topic[9]. The table below shows a breakdown of the number of interview and focus group participants by each topic.
| Topic | Interviews* | Focus group | Total** |
|---|---|---|---|
| Re-determinations and appeals | 16 | 8 | 24 |
| Fraud | 15 | 0 | 15 |
| COVID | 16 | 8 | 24 |
* Remote and in-person interviews.
**As interviews commonly covered more than one topic, the sum of totals by topic is higher than the total number of participants for the research overall.
