SAR when more than one DWP office involved

Hi Mrs H,

Ooops, I did write that on my copy which is filed away til then so I forgot length of time I must give these lovely dreadfully overworked and underpaid people.

Separate issue but similar: Would it be a SAR I would need to send to ask about them losing my ESA50 & entire medical evidence as I have no idea when and if DWP actually ever received it from ATOS or is there another route to take?

Hi d,

A SAR is basically a request for copies of all personal information that the DWP hold on you within the time frames and parameters that you lay down.

If they have lost documentation, one would surmise that they will not be able to provide copy of it.

You could request written confirmation regarding any lost documentation under separate cover also, in the form of a complaint:

Complaining to The DWP

If you can prove that they have lost your personal information, then you can also complain to The ICO.

Thanks bro58, that makes sense. I wasn't sure how I got them to divulge dates, what exactly happened and why but I will write to them.
