DWP records

Hi,can anyone advise please?over the time if a claimamt as an MP write on behalf of claimant do DWP keep on file or correspondence concerning that claimamt even if the calls,letters,email were sent by other people
Such as MP,gp,courts etc..
Or is it just the claimants correspondance alone.
Thanks in advance
Paul

So im right in thinking dwp literally have everything included in claimants file all 3rd parties whoever that may be , who contacted dwp in regard to that person even if was not on their behalf too.
They’ve been doing it for years. I had Supplementary Benefit cases where they says they’d nothing and then produced home visit records going back to 1966.
The SAR is your friend.
