    Surely the compensation should be being paid to the person who's details you got rather than you ? Unless your details were in turn sent to someone else I don't really see how you've been inconvenienced other than by writing to let them know (well done for that, by the way)


    Do you know what I think your right but I can’t see the DWP writing to the other person admitting their error can you ??? And yes I guess I did the DWP a favour by returning their documents as they had been sent to me incorrectly, so therefore they could write to the correct person. If I hadn’t of told them they wouldn’t of known. Would they.
