I picked up on this little snippet, that doesn't seem to have been widely publicised, hope it is of help:
"
The six largest mobile phone companies have signed agreements with DWP to provide their customers with free mobile phone calls from their networks to the Department’s 0800 claims lines.
Vodafone, T-Mobile, 02, Orange, Virgin Media and Tesco will make calls to around 70 DWP 0800 numbers free of charge to their customers. These lines are used to make initial claims for State Pension, Employment and Support Allowance and Jobseekers’ Allowance and to apply for crisis loans.
Free calls will commence from 18 January for Vodafone, O2, Tesco Mobile and Orange customers, and from 25 January for those using T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile. "
