Just a bit of advice.  As a current member of DWP staff you really should be a little more cautious with the information about the Department you give out. 

The majority if not all I have posted is available publicly on the internet, which as a public sector employer, it has to be.

I understand your security worry, but the list of information available about current homeworking policies is endless. If it wasn't publicly available, I wouldn't have mentioned any of it.

Numpties? You realise that a lot of them are furloughed or WFH?

Government workers are not furloughed for the simple reason the government would have been paying themselves. The more likely reason is that they are dealing with the mountain of claims. 

This is correct. I am a government worker and told to work from home.

Also to say, the demand for our services has increased exponentially over the past 3 months. It is not furlough the government will need to worry about, it is stress based absence from the workforce. We are seeing it already which has a knock on effect for those still working.
