DWP & virgin media?

custardy

okay this is a totally nosey question but anyway
last couple of weeks i have noticed a few letters from the DWP (you can see the DWP web address above the address section)
however these letters were franked by Virgin media?
at first i thought it was someone sending proof of address or the like to VM
but i have seen a few now
any idea what they are about?

Haven't noticed that, will keep my eyes open for it, have been stuck in locker for past 2 weeks though, and I delivery to a mainly non cabled area. So maybe that's why I haven't noticed it.

I don't know - possibly VM debt recovery letters referring people to the DWP for benefits advice? I am not aware that VM would do any outsourcing for the DWP (or anyone else), but it is a long time since I was there. I would be interested to know the answer!

Are you leaving RM custardy?

Sorry to hear that custardy, I have always enjoyed reading your RM anecdotes (goos and bad!), hope you find a more reasonable employee in the near future.

Might be something to do with calls to benefit claim lines now being free of charge from mobiles? (If virgin media are owt to do with mobiles)

Unlikely but perhaps!

i think thats likely.. my mobile phone contract is with virgin media now, rather than virgin mobile.
