DWP have had post opened by contractors for many, many years (at least 15). I know because I used to work there for a long time. The people doing it are subject to the Official Secrets Act in the same way as any civil servant.

The article is incorrect in one matter: The people opening the post DO NOT process the claims, this is done by civil servants. I know this because my husband works there now. This may change in the future, of course.

omg this is utterly disgusting and should be brought to the attension of the public and this government needs kicking out for what its doing to this country its taking us back into the old days and poverty its down right disgusting nobody should be allowed our data except the people we send it to they are utterly out of order

i find this very worrying as its just not right at all and will only cause more anxiety on top off all the other problems we all have.
