Hi

The address that I use is:

Data Protection Unit (SARN)
Room BP 5001
Benton Park View
Long Benton
Newcastle
NE98 1ZZ

You need to have a written authority signed by the claimant, as I believe the TC689 is not accepted for data protection requests.

That's the address we use too but never had to provide any FOA other than the TC689.
