The complainant has requested the number of cases in which the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) has issued a fine for failure to notify it of a change in circumstances. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) does not hold information falling within the scope of the request. However, she finds that DWP failed to provide adequate advice and assistance in accordance with its obligations under section 16. The Commissioner does not require DWP to take any steps.
