Hi,

No-one can access your bank account with just your name and address.

It is possible that they could try applying for benefits with those details, but the system would quickly realise that you're already getting benefits and cause the DWP to investigate their claim.

Royal Mail won't know what's happened to your letter.  

If you really believe it's lost, it would best to ask them to send you another one - and ask them to double check the address before sending.

Hi @zane, as @OverlyAnxious has said your bank account will be fine. There are more protections than simply knowing that information.

If it has been lost then it is likely the Royal Mail will not be able to locate it and it's best you request a second letter.

Keep us updated if anything else happens!
