I am writing to ask you to please clarify your request as the service have
asked for additional detail as to the information you seek.
Please see the comments raised below in relation to your questions asked.
 
Q1, What is meant by successful? Please confirm.
Do you mean, only applications awarded a medical reasonable preference

applications given a medical decision of either an RP and those assessed
as no medical RP award?

Q2, We do not have reportable data on whether an application was awarded a
medical RP for either physical or mental impairment, without manual
retrieval of the information from individual case files. Please provide
any additional breakdown or refined specific scope which we may be able to
determine.
 
We will not be able to take this matter further without this extra
information from you. Please let us know by 20 November 2023.
