Hi, I was was reading this thread and wondered what was on a SAR (Subject Access Request). It was from a thread posting from @ABC. Also what is the difference between an 'SAR' & the 'DART'(Data Access Request), as this could saves sometime in the future getting the right request  Question

I don't know about DART but a SAR is what you use to obtain any personal information held by an organisation about you. So, in our case, you can ask for printouts of virtually all the information they hold on you in the DWP computer system. This includes the notes the wc writes about you and that can be very revealing and often shows up their lies. And for the DWP it's free but can attract a small fee of around £10 with other organisations. If you're on something like the WHP and need to get information from them in a dispute put a SAR in via the Jobcentre as then you don't get charged.

You can cut out the middleman and go directly to the people who handle the SAR requests at rightofaccess.requests@dwp.gsi.gov.uk
