DWP Contact Number 0345

Due to a change in legislation it is no longer legal for Business to use 0845 telephones for customer service or enquiry lines, as such the DWP have now switched all Benefit Centre lines over to 0345 numbers that are charged at standard  rates.

This means that calls from most mobiles will be free as a telephone number starting 0345 is now classed as a local call and is within inclusive minutes.

    I was recently i hospital for just under 3 weeks. While in my house was either broken into or just completely trashed. Anyway it left me badly traumatised by the whole event and i have now had to move in with an aunt. due to this happening i missed my medical and filled in a form stating these matters. how long will it take to hear back. As doctors have stated i need to keep up my strength by eating and keeping warm. but without money i can’t do neither. Can u give me any advise on how to contact clydebank delivery centre online as i have no telephone.
