Lost Pension credit letter

Hi

12 months ago I notified Pension Credit of a Change in Circumstances Recieved Capital £14000

wrote to them expecting a reduction in Benefit did not hear anything and forgot about it (I forget everything) had a benefit check and was told I was getting £8 week too much and advised to contact Pension Credit immediatley (went into panic) could not get through so wrote with details, (have not got original as hard drive gave up the ghost)actually spoke to someone Monday they had not got original or my new letter yet, in post same day I recieved a invite to a Customer Compliance Interview for a Benefit check should I be worried

I dont think you should be worried, Make sure you have everything you have ever sent and that should be in copy form. If you haven't then you will just explain your position. When is the benefit check?

Good luck

Morning,

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with lost mail but its all too common these days with the DWP. A compliance officer will visit you at your home and it will give you the opportunity to explain what has happened and sign a written statement to the fact if need be.

Try not to be too worried as by your explaining and giving your event of what has happened and signing a written statement it will show to the DWP that you were telling the truth in the first place and that you still have nothing to hide.

Good luck with the interview.

[cjw064]

Yes always cover your behind its very important.... I have heard of instances where housing benefit check credit files and pass on information to the DWP so hopefully all will be ok for you
