IDG62640 - Department for Work and Pensions: Requests for name and address of employer

The name and address of a claimant’s employer should not be provided routinely . If DWP (or local authority) specifically request the name and address of an employer, you may only disclose this if the agreed stencil (see IDG90200) includes a satisfactory explanation showing the reason this information is needed and how it is to be used.

Please contact Information Strategy if you need further advice (see IDG90100).
