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 'Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Statistics - Crewe Assessment Centre'.

It is very difficult to see how it would take much time at all, let alone over the cost limits to check the basic statistics I have requested for 1 individual assessment centre.

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

Yours faithfully,

Darren Wollaston
