Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council
2 November 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information concerning an investigation by the council into its assessment and award of Discretionary Housing Payments in light of the judgement of the Sandwell case regarding the way in which councils should administer discretionary housing payments. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has not correctly applied section 31(1)(g) to the withheld information. She has also found that the council was entitled to rely on section 40(2) to withhold some of the requested information to the extent that it is personal data, but that it does not apply to the information in its entirety.
