The only reason I can think of for the question is somebody who is working and claiming benefits at the same time. They might be concerned that somebody working for DWP would notice.

I worked for DWP many years ago we didn't have to give out our full name never mind our addresses. I am pretty sure that the staff addresses are covered by data protection these days.

Certainly is covered by DP..

But Nanny is right. Look for the horns & if you look real close you'll notice we don't have shadows...

Only if they happened to deal with the claim. I have no idea which of my neighbours claim benefits or not.

You don't simple.

They don't have a huge sign outside their house do they.

The really good thing is that you don't

Well, those who work at the Job Centre have to live somewhere. I used to live opposite a lady who works there. I knew what her job was because it came up in conversation when we were having coffee whilst our kids played.

I don't think I ever really thought about her job. She didn't discuss it.

I know someone who deals with ESA. You never know, she might find my son's claim lands on her desk when he is old enough to claim (he is disabled and unlikely to ever be able to work). It won't bother me. She's professional enough to deal with it.

She would probably pass the case to a colleague to deal with, to ensure impartiality and confidentiality

Seeing them regularly in your area, on your local streets, in your flats, is a good sign.

I see woman from Jobcentre occasionally on my local streets, I know she lives on nearby street.

Another I saw walking home from Jobcentre, same way as me, so saw where they live.

Joking aside, that is what they have to do. Hand the case to a supervisor & just explain that you know them. It's no big deal.
