'UK Seniors Budget' Be warned!

[Guest]

I meant to ask. How on Earth did you manage to contact the DWP Mike? I tried for two days when I found out about the change in my allowance. When I finally got through, they couldn't hear my voice on the 'phone and hung up!

0800 731 0469 - listen to the menu.

'Triple Lock Pensions' my B*M!

Yeah. Nice increase in my pension this year accompanied by a decrease in my Personal Allowance from 285 to 202!! That means I'm gonna be about £30 a month worse off. Not much in the general scheme of things, but has anyone seen a Government announcement about the change in allowance?

Not overtly mentioned by the government Dave, after all, why would they highlight it. However , fiscal drag has been discussed to death on most current affairs programs and bracket creep, which is what this is called, is a core part of that program.

Thanks Mike. Not sure if that's the number I tried so I'll give it another go on Monday.

They also put the department number on any correspondence you get. I managed to speak to four different DWP departments in about half an hour after my mum died.

Typical! Give with one hand, take back with the other!

A further update to this scam.
They are now asking you to contact DWP??? on 8001234567 and you must have your bank and NI details ready to claim....

Question, If I am already claiming my state pension then why would I need to give my bank details and NI number again as they are already on the DWP system because this is how they pay me every week...

I called the number and was informed that calls to this number are no longer being connected.

I have also contacted you tube again and did not realise that I could actually sign in with my other email address, so this has enabled me to leave a message informing those that look at the video and read the comments to see the message I left.

150+ videos plus in three months prove it is a scam.

Got my email ad from them this morning. Duly ignored.
