Department for Work and Pensions
The complainant has requested information regarding training undertaken by Universal Credit claimants. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) confirmed to the complainant that it did not hold the specific information requested. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, DWP does not hold the requested information. The Commissioner considers that DWP should have clarified what information the complainant was seeking under section 1(3) and has failed to provide adequate advice and assistance as required by section 16 of the Act. The Commissioner requires the public authority to seek clarification from the complainant regarding which specific courses he is seeking information about. 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.
