12 allowed and 21 dismissed (33 decided). That is 0.9 percentage points above the national average of 35.5%. Across all years: 39.3% of 285 decided.

Small sample: with this few decisions the percentage can swing a lot from one year to the next.

Allowed ÷ (allowed + dismissed). Split decisions, withdrawn, invalid and undetermined appeals are left out. Based on completed records in the Appeal Scout archive, which runs a little behind today's date because decisions are added after publication.
