“The submission writer was merely raising a new matter that could in principle assist the appellant. If he did not delay making his submission in order to obtain additional evidence relating to it, that was doubtless because he, as a universal credit officer, did not have access to the ESA computer system, and he was required (like other
submission writers) to complete and submit five responses to appeals each day
”.

Only five? Given the frequency with which UC submissions copy chunks of the submission template without entering / deleting information relevant to the particular appellant or contain (pages of) standard paragraphs totally irrelevant to the issue under appeal one could be forgiving for assuming the target was rather more than five? Still, ‘five a day’ sounds catchy - wonder if any has thought of using it?
