DWP consultation on extensive sharing of Universal Credit recipients:ends 12th January

[Mary Hawking]

Is the DWP allowed - under DPA or other legislation - to share personal (and
sensitive) information about with many organisations including landlords?
I don't know how this escaped me - and a lot of others.

Refusal might affect benefits.
Consultation started 2nd December & ends 12th January: is it significant
that it is held over the Christmas/New Year period?
