Hi
I've been scheduled a compliance telephone interview for 2 weeks time for housing benefit I've been trying too ring the person doing the interview with no luck too find out more information and too move the date as I'm in work
I thought they would be local but turns out it's from a job centre 4 hours away from me is that a concern that its not local as my anxiety it through the roof thinking what have I done wrong only thing I can think of is my wage slips have been lower for past few months.
(Sorry i put this in the esa discussion group too by mistake)

If it’s related to housing benefit then that’s your local Authority so I don’t know why it’s got anything to do with a job centre.Do you claim any other benefits?0

Working tax credits but nothing to do with that on the letter. it just states dwp compliance telephone interview for your housing benefit claim I don't get much I pay about 80% of my rent
Be helpful if the man doing the interview would answer too see how many months wage slips he'd like me too get. I just thought it be my local council not someone 4 hours away the building does state dwp and also a jobcentre.0 -

I finally got hold of the man it is correct he wouldn't tell me why I was having one or what it was about I asked how many months of pay slips so I have everything ready and I'm actually in work the time he calls and wasn't very nice told me too wait and find out. So now I'll be unprepared if he wants any more than 6 ridiculous not as if I can change them.

So many people called in for compliance interviews lately, starting to look like they've got a quota!
Hope it all goes okay @babs1234561 -

@calcotti that would explain why I've never heard of one I thought it would be with the local council rather than dwp0

I believe that the DWP are now handling all interviews for housing and council tax matters.0

Arhhh it's just strange as I had a intervention call ( think thats what its called ) which is generated randomly I've had one before
This time 3 months of payslips were pretty low due too illness so I sent over all that then it was readjusted then 3 weeks had this letter saying when you applied for housing benefit you promised too let your local council know if you had a change of circumstances
And we need too check your receiving the correct payments which is strange because I'd already done it all to them on the first interview.
I get about 43 pound a week towards my rent0 -
It could just be a random check, which they do sometimes.1

So received my call after 16 long days was honest and told them everything thought it was too do with my wage slips but unfortunately someone had made a allegation I didn't live on my own
The man was lovely and said after everything you've told me ill put it down as malicious and will be on your record for 14 months
How sad that these nasty people can gey away with this
Good job I was planning on going full time which my local council knew way before as I couldn't deal with that type of nastiness0 -
How sad, indeed, that someone made a malicious allegation @babs123456 - especially if it's not true0
