Getting a P60U from the DWP?

Member Posts: 6 Listener
Hi all. New member here.
I’ve been doing Permitted Work on a self employed basis for three years now, whilst on ESA, and am due to do my tax return shortly. I have received a P60U in the post for the previous two years from the DWP, but this year, one hasn’t been forthcoming.
I’ve tried phoning them, but have sat on the phone for ages, without them replying...
In searching the web, it appears paper P60’s are being phased out, so my query is if anyone knows how to get a tally of my taxable benefits from the DWP?
Many thanks in advance 😊

I am sorry to hear this. Have you been able to get in touch with them again, recently?
I'm not sure but some of our members may be able to answer your question.
I’ve spent approx. 45, 35 and now 25 minutes waiting for my call to be answered by the ESA Helpline in the last three days, to no avail...
I also went into my local JobCentre Plus, to be told phone the very number I can’t get a reply on!?
It is a tad frustrating, and any help and advice from members with similar experiences would be appreciated...
I am thinking of writing to the DWP to request a P60U, but am dreading them replying by saying phone the non-answering number 🤣
Best wishes

Ah, I see that is a long wait, I can understand why you would feel frustrated. That might be a good idea and hopefully they will respond with a solution and not the number again.
Have you tried your local CAB or HMRC?
Sadly, I do my permitted work at what would appear to be the very time I am more likely to get a call answered by the DWP 😲
I will send off the letter, and if it has no effect, will have to bite the bullet and sit on the helpline until they answer 😊
@Antonia_Scope I did try to phone HMRC, but it was a similar message/story to the ESA Helpline, so put the phone down 🤣
Thanks again all

I’ve written to them, so if it is not forthcoming shortly, I will wait until the end of June, then ring them again 😊

I’m happy to say my P60U arrived today, dated 04/05/19, so I can now fill in my tax return.
I’m a ‘do it yesterday’ type of person, so was panicking a bit when it didn’t show, even though I have until the end of January to do it 😊
Thanks to everyone again, much appreciated 👍

Eight months early, that's very proactive of you! Although much better than leaving it to the last minute. It's always a weight off the shoulders once complete.
