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.3

Does the letter mention " Compliance "
1 -
In the address it does say
Local Service Compliance.
Should I like I say (or think) be wary?1 -
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.1
