Mental health and suicide threats

The request was refused by Department for Work and Pensions.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
I want the number of people that have declared in their universal credit journals that their mental health is suffering and any threats of suicide, including attempted and successful suicides made due to universal credit and its policies.

Yours faithfully,

Zeeta Osborn

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 'Mental health and suicide threats'.

[ DWP have refused to look at the statistics I have requested, due to it costing them more than £350. I personally believe the lives lost and destroyed are priceless and to refuse this request is disgusting and disgraceful behaviour. They have already admitted suicide is a harsh reality of suicide by refusing my request and trying to hide the number of people damaged because of universal credit]

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/m...

Yours faithfully,

Zeeta Osborn
