peculiar call

lemontart

Not sure if this is the right section but need some advice - I got a odd call about 10 mins ago from 0121779 8700 and some one claiming to be calling on behalf of dwp regarding a claim for incapacity benefit - which I have never been in receipt of then asking if I was on jsa and then wanting my work details - I would not give these out as if they were who they said they would surely know this from my ni number etc also from their database which surely would register the details of the company I went to work for when I signed off the dole.

Told them to put this request in writing and was then told they would make me an appt at the jobcentre .................not sure how or why I should have to attend as work full time and they already know I am working.

Is this legitimate.

Googled the number and found this -

If they think you are claiming IB and you aren't, then maybe someone else is, using your name.

thanks for that now I know what is going on and will lodge a complaint with the jobcentre as they know all the details for me when I signed off dole earlier this year and from when I signed off income support last year so should not have got the call for what they already know.
