Leaving aside the correlation between this post grading theory and
reality, I suspect that the view that the scores are not personal data
would be very difficult to uphold. They relate to a post which an
individual holds and the data is hence identifiable by reference to the
individual. So it seems fairly clear to me that these scores would be
data disclosable in response to an SAR.
