SANTA01 form

SCHSheff wrote: Hi bro58,

Thank you for the links you provided. Having ploughed through half of the first link all I can say think is good grief. I am beginning to get very confused about what I actually want. I wonder if my original letter muddled the issue. Part of that letter read as follows:

"This evidence should include:
- the ESA85a medical report form
- the LT54 form
- any medical evidence from health professionals such as my GP or consultant
- all other evidence considered by the decision maker in reaching their decision including the length of the prognosis of the support group award and the descriptors that were applied in coming to the award decision"

Are the last two points too vague?

I found a DWP Subject Access Request Guide online, although it dates back to April 2008. Optional paragraphs can be inserted into a SANTA01 for purposes of identification and clarification (and prevarication?). These include requests for a current utility bill and evidence of power of attorney. Looks like they just threw them all in.

Perhaps all I need (since I am in the SG this time) are the ESA85a and LT54 forms? My GP wrote a letter to go with my ESA50 and the prognosis and information about descriptors will appear on the forms anyway. Won't it? Am I over thinking this?

BTW, in response to Bud's reply, there wasn't an email address on the letter.

Thank you, SCH

Hi SCH,

From what I can see of the quotes from your SAR request, there does not seem to be anything untoward with them.

Many members have issued a SAR with similar requests :

Using the form on the link above without any problems.

Did you include dates From-To ?

If you are not happy, a threat of a complaint to ICO may help

Hi bro58,

Thanks for you response.

No, I didn't put any from/to dates. The form includes these of course. I will repeat the information I previously quoted above and write a covering letter re no need for Power of Attorney and get it sent off (they only gave me 20 days to respond and the original request took 10 days to reach them apparently despite being sent by recorded delivery).

That's all for now, SCH

Hi SCH,

It may help if you address the envelope, FAO : The Data Controller, and write DPA 1998 SAR in front, top , left of envelope.
