Dear John Smith,
Thank you for your Freedom of Information (FoI) request received on 7 December. You asked:
This is in response to a benefits stoppage and the correspondence claims this was under rule
21.
DWP Response:
I am very sorry I cannot deal with your request without further clarification of the information you
seek. To help us do so, I would like to know if you could provide us with some more details.
I would like to know more precisely which benefit you are referring to or it will be helpful if you
could send us a copy of the letter you saw, then we will be able to identify the rule in question.
Under section 16 of the Act we should assist you in helping you focus your request, but as
your request is not clear it is difficult to determine how we can advise you in this instance
without further information.
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact us quoting the reference number
above.
Yours sincerely,
DWP Central FoI Team
