Dear Trudy Baddams
Thank you for your Freedom of Information review request received on 16
March 2018. You asked:-

Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'Re Womens' pension age hike 'The

DWP Response:
Your original request was received on 6 March 2018 and on 16 March you
asked us for an internal review.
I can confirm that I have carried out an internal review and I was not involved
previously. On this occasion your request for a review is not upheld because
the deadline for your request was 5 April 2018 and our response was issued
to you on 27 March 2018 and was dealt within the provisions of the FOI Act.
I have included the link to our previous response.

You also asked a further question
'The Department ran a Pensions Education
Campaign from 2001 to 2004, the campaign used press advertising and direct
marketing can you clarify please.
We do not have any more detailed information than that in the evidence
collected by the Work and Pensions committee, so we are unable to provide
anything further. The link to the committee report was provided to you in our
previous response.
