Excuse my ignorance, but what/who is dfc?

Hi @Girl_No1

DFC = Department For Communities, which operates in NI. Which operates like DWP in other UK countries.

Ah, thanks! Every day's a school day! Hope someone's along soon to answer your question.

Hi @Analine

Have you been through the MR process?

It is the claimant who start the appeal process, not sure about NI though.

Give whoever sent you the letter, a ring, to see what decision is pending.

Hope this helps.

Analine

Yes have been through MR process so as you suggested I think I will give them a ring.
Thanks for the advice

Hi @Analine

Might be worth reading this article, about the DWP backing down on not behaving badly, when dealing with claimants.

Let us know how you get on.
