Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested information held within the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Universal Credit Programme assumptions log and its issues, risks and dependencies logs for the Universal Credit Programme. The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP has failed to fully consider and respond to the request in accordance with section 1(1). The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a fresh response to the complainant that considers all of the information falling within the scope of the request and either disclose the information or issue a refusal notice citing a reason to withhold the information. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 1: Complaint upheld
