Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested the number of messages received onto the Child Maintenance system and a breakdown of how long it took to respond. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is entitled to rely on section 12(1) to refuse to comply with the request as to do so would exceed the appropriate limit and it has complied with its obligations under section 16. The Commissioner finds, however, that DWP has breached section 17(5) of the Act as it did not issue its section 12 refusal notice within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require DWP to take any steps in relation to this request.
