Dear INFORMATION.LAW,
Hi Erin, Further to our phone call it would appear there is some confusion. The information you released to me today via righttoknow was suppose to be regarding an FOI pertaining to CDDA claims for 20/21. What you attached to that FOI was information I have already received to a previous FOI request (High Impact Error Rate for last quarter of 20/21). I am still to receive the information requested re CDDA.
I have still not received anyting on regarding an FOI lodged on 28/10 regarding Acts of Grace Payments details for 20/21.
Apologies for not responding earlier today but have been out most of the day. Thanks for resending the link to a previously released FOI.
Please phone me again if you need to.
Yours sincerely,
Alan ASHMORE
