Summary: The complainant asked Birmingham City Council (the council) for information about housing benefit payments. The council provided the complainant with some information but refused to provide everything that had been requested. This refusal was on the basis of the exemption contained at section 12 as to provide the requested information would exceed the fees limit of £450. The Commissioner finds that the council was correct to rely on section 12 and does not require it to take any further action.
