Genuine DWP number?

I have had a missed call from this number 0800 023 2635. I rang it back and there was an automated message saying it was dwp and if they needed to contact me they would call again.

I googled the number and am getting mixed responses about whether it is genuine or a scam.

Other results indicate it is the Benefits Integrity Centre? And if so they only look at JSA, ESA, incapacity benefit or income support. None of which I claim.


Has anyone else had calls from this number?

    I've had the DWP call me from this number. I believe it was about a social fund application.
  • Ok thanks so that would suggest it is a genuine number then.

    Haven't had a social loan fund either.

    Just claim TC's, I'm sure they write to you when they want to query something?
