    Hello @Alibali25 and thanks for reaching out, you're not the only member here struggling to get through to the DWP by phone. I'm afraid I'm not sure if you can write to them to request a copy of your letter. 

    One of the best times to ring is when the lines first open, and it might help to put it on speaker so that you can get on with other things while you wait. It's frustrating, but we wish you luck. I needed to do this last year and it took 20 minutes, but I think times vary.

    You can write to them yes but they may not respond.

    Hello @Alibali25 and a warm welcome to our online community, how are you keeping?

    As advised, it's better to speak with someone directly but lots of other members have experienced similar problems getting through  :( This is the address listed on the PIP government webpage if you wish to give it a try:
    Postal address for Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
    Personal Independence Payment
    Post Handling Site B
    Wolverhampton
    WV99 1AH
    Please keep us posted with how you get on, and just to advise, I've tweaked the title of your thread and moved it to our PIP, DLA and AA category to help others spot it more easily.

    Take care!
