Hi,

Yes, this has been the case for years. It's called the sorting office at royal mail, which is the reason why post takes fairly long to get to the department it's meant for. If you write confidential on the envelope apparently it's not opened, altho i have no idea how true that part is.

If you are talking about the post handling section of dwp I would think that's normal.

They haven't got time to be reading them. But that's why it takes up to 10 days to process.
