Guidance for teams working on managed migration
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Some internal DWP guidance is only for use by teams working on managed migration. For example the following sets of guidance (one of which is 'specialist teams guidance') state 'Note: This section must only be used by the agents working on Move to Universal Credit (managed migration)': https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/8... & https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/8...
Please provide copies of internal guidance which is only for use by teams working on Move to Universal Credit. If this cannot be answered within the time limit then please limit the request to specialist teams guidance.
Yours faithfully,
Owen Stevens

Dear Owen Stevens,

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work and Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'Guidance for teams working on managed migration'.
1. I would like to challenge the response to this FOI.
2. The request asked for all relevant guidance or, failing that, specialist teams guidance. The response does not state whether the former or the latter has been provided – please state whether the former or latter request has been answered. Presumably it is the former as only some of the guidance states that it is specialist teams guidance.
3. I believe that there may be more guidance which has not been released. For example, the guidance provided in response to this request refers to the following (which appear, as far as I can tell, not to have been provided) :
a. ‘claimant has asked for more time to claim’ (referred to in ‘Case Manager guidance’)
b. ‘case manager has identified that a claimant needs more time to claim’ (referred to in ‘Case Manager guidance’)
c. ‘claimant requests an extension or needs additional support to make a claim by their deadline date’ (referred to in ‘migration notice helpline guidance’)
d. ‘DWP benefit claimants: contacting an ETS claimant following enhanced support checks’ (referred to in ‘migration notice helpline guidance’)
e. ‘non-DWP benefit claimants: contacting an ETS claimant following an automatic extension’ (referred to in ‘migration notice helpline guidance’)
4. The response states that some of the information I seek will not be released, citing s.35 FOIA. I would like to challenge the use of this exemption to withhold information.
5. I do not wish to challenge the redaction of phone numbers within the guidance.
6. Please state whether any guidance is being withheld (as opposed to phone numbers within guidance)
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/g...
