The request was partially successful.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

I understand that HMRC shares data with the DWP.

Please provide the following:-

* A copy of the primary document laying out the terms of the data sharing agreement between HMRC and the DWP.

* Copies of any documents laying out planned updates or upcoming changes to the data sharing agreement.

* Copies of all documents which clarify what details about universal credit claimants are made available to DWP.

* Copies of all documents which clarify what details (if any at all) about non claimants (persons not claiming any DWP administered benefits) are made available to the DWP.

Yours faithfully,

Florence Elizabeth Constance Daisley

Dear Florence Elizabeth Constance Daisley,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Acknowledgement

Thank you for your communication of 27th March which has been passed to
HMRC's Freedom of Information Team.

We have allocated the above reference which you should quote if you need
to contact us.

The Team will arrange for a reply to be sent to you which will either
comply with HMRC's obligations under Freedom of Information Act or, if we
think it's an enquiry that we don't need to address under the terms of the
Act, let you know why. If it is the latter we will, if possible, pass it
on to a more appropriate part of the Department for answer.

Yours sincerely

HMRC Freedom of Information Act Team
