If the DWP Knock On Your Door, Say These Words (Most Pensioners Don't Know Them)

A man in a suit is on your step with a lanyard, and he says he is from the Department for Work and Pensions. Genuine or not, he is counting on one thing: that you will not know what to ask him. Six words settle it, whoever is standing there. Four completely different things can be behind that knock, and only one looks like what most people picture. This video separates them using the government's own guidance. The check on your payments happens by phone, your name comes out of a hat, and a letter reaches you first. The support visit does come to your home, but you cannot book it yourself, and the letter naming the officer arrives before he does. You'll also see the part hardly anybody knows about. Ring the DWP Visiting Team beforehand and you can agree a password the officer has to say out loud when he arrives. It sits on gov.uk, and it beats any card. *SOURCES* DWP performance measurement reviews — gov.uk Support visits and the password with the Visiting Team — gov.uk This video is educational only, built from published UK government guidance.
