Hi I received a missed call from 0800 023 2635 I googled the number and some say it’s DWP some say it’s a scam, the only thing I’m waiting on is a tribunal date for pip and they said they would email me or text, does anyone know for sure if it is DWP and what they might be phoning for? Thanks 
p.s No voicemail was left

    That's a DWP number. It's impossible to tell you what they wanted because we can only guess. You can trying ringing PIP on Monday when they open and ask them.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    A lot of genuine numbers are mislabeled as a scam, especially DWP and HMRC. When My hubby got called regarding his PIP award last year it was originally blocked by my phone provider as a scam number.
