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.

Phone the DWP contact number 0800 055 6688 number that is free for new benefit claims. In case you have hearing difficulties, please dial free phone number 0800 023 4888.

For claims that are present, there are various phone numbers to call based on the kind of benefit you are enquiring about. When calling for an existent claim, you will need to provide your date of birth and your National Insurance number. If you do not need a National Insurance number yet, apply by telephone for it. The National Insurance number application helpline is 0345 600 0643. They can be available from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm
