Department for Work and Pensions
7 July 2015, Central government
The complainant has requested information from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) about policy guidance documentation relating to processes of sanctions and appeals in relation to jobseeker claimants and information about the names of those handling the request for information. DWP provided the complainant with relevant documentation and advised that it held nothing further within the scope of the request. It relied on section 40(2) to refuse to provide the names of those handling the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP has disclosed all of the information falling within the scope of the request and was correct to rely on section 40(2) to refuse the request for names of the individuals who had handled the request. The Commissioner does not require DWP to take any further steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
