Dear D Berry,
 
Thank you for your email of 17 February.
 
We have not responded to your Freedom of Information request as, following
a check of our records, we have not received the original request for
information.
 
When the DWP receives a request from WDTK, an auto-acknowledgement is
issued, as is the case with your Internal Review request. The WDTK site
does not show any record of an earlier request.
 
Therefore, please can you either: resubmit the request ;or let us know
that we can now progress the request from your latest email. However, in
the second scenario, the 20 working day period will commence from 17
February, the day you requested the Internal Review.
 
I hope this explains the situation,
 
DWP Central Freedom of Information Team
