Interview under caution: claimant wants recording
I hope this is the right place to post this question. I have a client who was interviewed under caution for benefit fraud. The case was dropped. They want access to the recording. Can they obtain this and if so how?
You’d just do a subject access request in the normal way. If DWP think its exempt from disclosure, let them explain why.
Never had an issue with obtaining transcripts or recordings of IUCs. Often doesn’t need a SAR. Just a quick conversation can sort it.
Once brilliantly had someone from DWP literally walk across a transcript for me. Utterly bizarre but apparently it was because it was an IUC they were really proud of.
Tribunal was a 10 minute win as it was easy to demonstrate that the single most obvious question hadn’t been asked in the IUC and must therefore have been asked, as the appellants parent recalled, outside the room.
Oh dear 😊
