Matternity allowance return postage

Yes i know what it is, my daughter sent off for her claim for this about 5 months ago.

To be honest, if i was a postman and someone was waiting by the side of a postbox and asked me if i could have a letter back that i had posted then i'd refuse. For security reasons they probably won't be able to return it to you.

My advice is to wait a couple of weeks and ring DWP to check it's been received.

I'll take my ID with me hopefully he will be understanding.

ID isn't going to prove the letter belonged to you. I wish you good luck.

In the several years and more that i've claimed benefits, when returning forms to DWP the postage is usually prepaid. Although, i never just "put it in a post box" usually i take it to a post office and ask for proof of posting. This way you have proof that it's at least been posted, if it gets lost.

I'd leave it a couple of weeks and then ring DWP to ask if it's been received.

Well then I guess Tomorrow morning i have to wait for the postman to come collect it and ask him if I can have my mail back if we find it !

he won't do that; more than his job's worth
