Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested information about grievances recorded at Child Maintenance Group (“CMG”) Leicester. The Department or Work and Pensions (“DWP”) refused to provide the requested information, citing section 40(2)(personal information) of FOIA as a basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP is entitled to rely on section 40(2) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
