- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant has asked the Department for Work and Pensions (the DWP) for information concerning the audio recording of Work Capability Assessments (WCAs) at assessment centres. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DWP did not deal with the request for information in accordance with the FOIA - it failed to provide a response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. As a response has now been provided, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
