Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested information related to the Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) risk model for advances fraud. DWP originally relied on section 31(1)(a) to withhold the requested information. However, during the course of the investigation, DWP changed its position and introduced section 12(1) as to comply with the request would exceed the appropriate limit. The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP is entitled to rely on section 12(1) to refuse to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.

FOI 12: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 169615
