The complainant has requested information from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) relating to Direct Temporary Recruits (DTRs) who joined the Child Maintenance Group in 2021 in a particular area. The DWP provided some information in response to the first part of the request but stated at internal review that no recorded information was held regarding the second part of the request. The complainant did not accept this position. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probability, the DWP does not hold any information falling within the second part of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
