- Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld
The complainant made seven requests for information to the Department of Work and Pensions (the “DWP”) concerning its alleged failure to pay disability benefits to UK citizens living elsewhere in the European Economic Area and about other related matters. The DWP attempted to answer some of those requests and applied various exemptions to others. It then aggregated the requests and applied section 12(1) to them all together.
