Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested information regarding Financial Investigation Unit (FIU) of the Child Maintenance Group (CMG). The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) originally cited section 31 to withhold the information it held and confirmed that it did not hold further information within the scope of the request. During the course of the investigation, DWP withdrew its reliance on section 31 and disclosed the withheld information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, DWP does not hold information further to that previously disclosed. However, she does find that DWP breached section 10 by not disclosing the requested information within the statutory timeframe. The Commissioner does not require DWP to take any further steps.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
