My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator George Brandis. The government have already reassessed the eligibility of 28,000 people with disability under the age of 35 for the disability support pension and are currently reassessing the eligibility of 90,000 people with disability over the age of 35 for the DSP, dropping many of these people with disability onto the lower Newstart payment. In addition, they are making it harder for people with disability to access the DSP. Has there been an increase in the number of disability support pension cases at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal over the last two years, how many cases have been reviewed by the AAT and how many have been successfully appealed?
