Uk. Dwp Playing Games!

[Jack Peterson]

For UK members Drawing a State pension!

 

:1 (103):  The UK. DWP ( Department of Works & Pensions) Have embarked on a Life Certificate demand that they Have not Done before ( well not to me Anyway)

Yesterday, I received by Good ole Philpost a Life Form to be returned within 8 Weeks. Yea! Takes 6+ weeks to get here and they want it Back within 8 or they will stop your pension until it is received.

So Guys and Gals. If you are receiving a UK State pension, look out for this Form. If you have not received it yet I would make inquiries  I telephoned them straight away and was Told OH Yes! We are now are of the Post Problem in the Philippines So Sir, we will give you an 8 week extension as from Today. Great but you must ring them to get this extension For me, I would not leave it, I would ring and Inquire anyway. Best to be on the Forward think rather than leave it and get a pension Interruption. 

 

 Have your NI number to Hand. and ring this number:

 

 +44 191 21 8777

 

It only takes a few Minuets and is not that expensive listen to the Mumbo Jumbo then hit number 1 on the keypad and that takes you straight to an Operator who will deal with it as you talk. ( They will Ring you back if you Ask)

 

Just a heads up here my friends but the cost will be well worth it. The Hassle may cost more if you don't act Quickly.

I'm surprised more governments haven't started using electronic mail...  and no, i don't mean email...

 

Here in Canada, our postal service has a version where you can have your mail delivered electronically (by the sender) to your inbox...  I have all my government mail delivered electronically.  The only drawback i had was that i needed a physical address in Canada...  c/o my sister at her address sufficed.

Where I used to work some people would have a hard time to prove they were still alive!  :hystery:

Have also just had the UK DWP proof of life cert. My reply will break their deadline by a few days but I'm not worried as the next monthly payment that might be affected is a few weeks away.

 

But HM Revenue & Customs are much worse, when it comes to registering for their gateway so one can file an annual  tax return return online. They just allow a month for a PIN code to get to you and be input. Applied for it three times over the last three years and each time it gets to me in 5 weeks or so.
