28 APPENDIX F OUTCOMES FOR APPEALS CASES (PROJECT VS ALL DB/IB 2002 CLAIMS) Data similar to that shown in the table opposite was not available for the Control Group. Comparisons had to be made against all types of <strong>Disability</strong>/Injury Benefit (DB/IB) claims in 2002. The rate of appeals as a percentage of persons found capable is much lower under the project than for all DB/IB claims in 2002 (44 per cent vs. 61 per cent). The pattern of outcomes described in Appendix E is maintained through the appeals procedure, as circa 49 per cent of appeals for all DB/IB claims assessed in 2002 were found incapable at a second assessment compared to 17 per cent of appeals under the project.
