The complainant has requested information regarding the introduction of Universal Credit and its effect on disabled people. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Work and Pensions holds no further information within the scope of the request, but that it failed to respond to the request within 20 working days. The DWP therefore breached Section 10 of the FOIA in responding to the request. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
