Forward the email to your mortgage broker / advisor and ask them what they want you to do to keep your business with them.
I'm not sure what the reference is required for?0 -
You'll certainly not get DWP budging on this, its there to protect them and the information the staff give out about people. I agree with @FlyMeSomewhere79 I've never heard of anyone asking for a reference for a mortgage, sounds very old school!"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "2

When I took out a mortgage with Skipton they asked for a reference which was a simple does this person really work here and do they earn what they say they do.
My line manager filled it out and they accepted.. I later found out after a promotion it should have been hr ..0 -

Is it worth asking your colleagues what mortgage companies they have used because otherwise people like you working for the DWP would never get mortgages if they were all like Skipton.
My payslips have always been enough to keep my mortgage broker happy.

Could you get your line manager to fill out the form, if it’s just confirming that you do work there etc?0
