Department for Work and Pensions (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50482271 (07 May 2013)
Summary: The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Department for Work and Pensions for pension information relating to a deceased individual. The DWP refused the request under the exemptions in section 41 and 44 of FOIA but failed to issue this response within the statutory working day deadline. The complainant has asked the Commissioner to consider the DWP-™s delay in handling his request and he has found that it breached section 10(1) by failing to issue a refusal notice within 20 working days of receiving the request.
