DWP compliance officer telephone interview

DebB49

Hi we did call mainly to give them the correct address and phone number asked what it was about she said she couldn’t discuss it until the 9th but asked if my mother worked?

DebB49

No not to my knowledge I have my own property 50 miles from my mums.

Never even thought of that, it’s a really good idea.

I would ask for all information 're any visit from DWP in writing.

My mother who is 81 has received a letter saying the DWP compliance officer will be calling next week to discuss her housing benefits.

She is really worried about the call and to be honest she only receives her state pension

She’s 81 has poor vision is partially deaf has angina, asthma and diabetes.

Is she entitled to Pension Credit and, depending on how her health problems affect her, Attendance Allowance?

To the OP, please don't think I am being nasty when I say what I say next, because that isn't my intention.

But I really think that the for DWP to treat an 81 year old person in this manner is absolutely disgusting. I daresay the stress of this could even kill fragile people who are younger, let alone someone who is well into their retirement.

Would you rather they strip them of benefits and create a large overpayment first or woud you rather the issue was sorted with potentially no overpayment via a short telephone call?

I know which one would cause me more stress.

They may even be ringing to check she is receiving all she is entitled to.
