Compliance Interview
ACS
Member Posts: 4 Listener
Hello,
My husband is a recipient of income-related ESA, he is in the Support Group and receives PIP. I am his designated carer and receive Carers' Allowance.
We have recently got a letter from the DWP regarding a 'Compliance Interview'. I was under the impression that interaction with DWP personnel was optional for members of the Support Group. Can anyone clarify the policy on this?
I have tried to contact the Compliance Officer but the phone number is inactive and the JCP phone operators were unable to get hold of them either.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
ACS

Those In the support group do not have to attend any work focused interviews but this is a compliance interview which is completely different. It means that they are checking your benefits and you will have to attend this interview otherwise your benefits could stop. I’d advise you to ring the number on the letter Monday morning and ask what it’s about and they may give you more information.
