I make FOIA requests to get info disclosed that everyone should be able to see:
“Secrecy, on the other hand, begets arbitrariness and misgovernment. In the words of Lord Jenkins, it is wrong to deprive the electorate of information about the processes of government ‘for where they are bad they remain bad and get worse in the dark’.
(HL Deb vol 483, col 175, 17 December 1986).”
I try to help if I can but please remember that I am not a lawyer or a professional welfare rights advisor.

Hi,
You might be interested in the DWP reply to one of my FOI requests about Universal Credit & its Programme Board:

Universal Credit "RAID" documents
Refused.
As expected the DWP has refused b y request citing S.12. I have complained to the information commissioner.

Long overdue.
I submitted a complaint to the ICO today as the DWP has failed to provide a response of any kind within 20 working days.
The ICO has written to the DWP giving it 10 days to provide its response. No doubt it will be a refusal.
Universal Credit "RAID" documents
Refused.
Please ignore previous annotation, I've added it to the wrong request.
