Benefit Deaths

The request was refused by Department for Work and Pensions.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

I have seen the recent release by Department re ESA deaths who where found fit for work released on 27/8/2015.

DWP recently generated ASMRs (age standardised mortality rates) for many categories of claimant, but not for the category of most interest: those who have been taken off IB/SDA after being found fit for work. Many of these move to JSA or other benefits so can I please have those statistics of those who died within 14 days after transferring to JSA or other benefits from IB /ESA .

Yours faithfully,

G Ward

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

Hello,there is considerable delay on this request therefore I am requesting internal review in the hope a explanation can be found as to why the dept has not replied to this request given that the information is readily available to the dept.

Dear DWP IGS FOI,

I cannot see the justification of £600 limit for the information I requested given the fact you have already collated such statistics in previous releases, therefore the information should already be available to you without such charges applied.

Yours sincerely,

G Ward

DWP IGS FOI, Department for Work and Pensions
