Reviewing Your Benefit Claim Check 

Had a letter from the D.W.P. yesterday advising they want to come to my home on a date to see if I am "getting everything that you should"

I don't trust these people.

Is this common practice? 

Or is it another appointment to check up whether I am fit for work.  Or alternatively to check whether I am still entitled to P.I.P.  which I am!

I had a P.I.P. interview at my home about a year ago, and although I did get P.I.P., I didn't get the higher mobility component to which I was entitled. I did appeal but this was rejected. 

I gave up. 

I am sick to the back teeth of having to prove to people as well as DWP of my eligibility on being disabled.

Also the letter is issued from a different Job Centre near to me and not the one I have had dealings with from yesteryear? Should I be genuinely wary?

Any advice greatly appreciate

Hi,

The best thing you can do is to ring the number on the letter and ask them what it's about. It's either a completely innocent random check, which can happen. Or someone has reported you for something. They will hopefully tell you more when you ring.

Does the letter mention " Compliance "

In the address it does say
Local Service Compliance.
Should I like I say (or think) be wary?

It sounds like you have been selected for a random benefits check. But as poppy says give them a ring

Call up the number on the letter. Ask them to tell you what it’s about. Or you could always try to email them.

Hi, I`m new to this site and looking at older posts. Did you get it sorted out ok? I have Direct Payments and they do an annual check to see if everything`s ok. I think they are checking if I`m still alive! Been on DLA for 19 years and never had such a check!
