It should be noted that when a disallow decision is made the applicant is provided with details as to how they can request a review of the decision or appeal that decision. In some cases the applicant will provide additional information at that time and this can lead to an application being allowed having initially been disallowed. That initial disallow decision will still have been counted in the above figures.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
