    HI,

    One of the reasons they send out these letters is they check at random to see if you're claiming the correct benefits. Best thing to do is ring the number on the top of the letter tomorrow and they may tell you what it's about.

    @son2 I think you need to be aware that these letters are sent out at random that is correct but also if any fraud has been reported. A friend of mine had one and had to prove he hadn't done anything wrong. I'm sorry if this has upset you but I would ring and ask lots of questions about why it was sent to you. Make sure if you have to go for an interview that you take someone with you. I have confirmed this information online.

    @wildlife is correct, which is why i said one of the reasons. You do get some nasty judgemental people about but if you've donee nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. Just be honest during the interview.

    Sorry but it's better to know before hand. Forewarned is forearmed  so they say.
