Rishi Sunak was urged not to scrap 20-per-week uplift to Universal Credit top-up.
Charity and campaigners warned scrapping it could plunge 800,000 people into poverty.
But Mr Sunak ignored warnings and cancelled it in October 2021 .
Treasury refused to release any analysis of ending the support when requested by the Mirror .
Watchdog ruled in favour of Mirror and ordered Treasury to publish analysis of benefits.
But now the Tories have instructed the Government Legal Department to appeal the ruling.
Critics described the move as 'shocking' and 'stinks of a cover up'.
