Official Householder (HAS) casework
Householder appeals
These are records whose official casework type is exactly Householder (HAS). That type can include different decision contexts, so use the underlying record to check what was disputed in each case. These outcomes do not predict what will happen in another appeal.

How to read householder decisions
Allowed means the Inspector allowed the appeal. Dismissed means the Inspector dismissed it. The label alone does not say whether the dispute was a refusal, an imposed condition or another matter; open the record for that context. The comparison rate uses these two clear outcomes only.
