Dear Ceri

 

Thank you for your email received 7 April 2014, under the Official
Information Act 1982, requesting:

 

·         Which benefit categories did the 21,000 beneficiaries fall into
who had their benefit suspended because they travelled overseas without
permission?

·         Were superannuitants included in these figures?

 

Your request for the benefit categories which the 21,000 beneficiaries
fell into is refused under section 18(d) of the Act on the basis that this
information will soon be publicly available through the Parliament website
at the following link:
