DLA contact from abroad

Options
Does anyone know any other contact details for DLA other that the 0800 number? I’ve moved abroad and need to tell them, but even though I still have a U.K. number, it won’t call the 0800 number. I can’t find any other number or email so don’t know what to do!

    There's no other phone number for DLA or email address. Th eonly other way of contacting them to report a change of circumstances is to write to them. Details here, scroll down. https://www.gov.uk/disability-benefits-helpline

    It may take a while for them to receive this and action it. Any payments you receive in the meantime should be kept to one side because any overpayment will need to be repaid
    back.

    In another thread you mention the DLA is for your son. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6288309/dla-after-16#latest As he's 16 you should soon be invited to apply for PIP for him by making a call to start the claim. If this isn't done by a certain date then the DLA will just end. If they don't receive that letter then the DLA is likely to end soon anyway.
