DWP set to waste thousands fighting release of two secret reports

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is set to waste thousands of pounds of public money fighting two rulings by the information commissioner that it must release secret reports affecting millions of disabled people.

It is the latest example of how the department has used delaying tactics for many years to avoid being held to account over its own actions that have been linked to countless deaths of disabled benefit claimants.

The information commissioner ruled late last year that DWP should release both reports to Disability News Service (DNS).
