Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
After appealing I got DLA which expires later on this year. I was thinking about starting to gather my information together and wondered if DWP were obliged to give me a copy of the reports that went to the decision maker last time?
and it would seem that if it is your own data, then it's not FOI, but the DPA which applies. I didn't know that about public organisations, but there you go, learn something new every day.
If you look in the template library, there is a letter to make a SAR under the DPA which you can adapt to send to the DWP.
Good luck, let us know how you get on.
Apologies to people who I was in the process of helping, I may be gone some time.
Yes you are entitled, but under the Data Protection Act 1998 rather than the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The DWP don't charge subject access fees when people make requests.
If it's ust copies of reports you need, you'd be much quicker to just 'phone the DLA helpline and ask for copies, they'll action it immediately.
