    Yes contact him by Recorded Delivery and send a copy of your letter to the local press, radio and tv stations and the Secretary of State for Work & Pensions Therese Coffey ... she’s very ambitious and won’t want (any more) bad publicity. Β

    I had a conversation with DWP this week about husband.Β 
    " what's his NI number?"
    "I have no idea I'm afraid"Β 
    " Can you ask him?"
    " He doesn't know what day of the week it is. Do you expect him to remember his NI number?"Β 
    Silence.

    you'd think it not beyond the wit of man to devise a system where DWP can get someone's NI number?

    And it's got the benefit of paying it less by "losing" records. A new claim dated from when first contacted them which will take about two weeks before he gets any money. I've played the benefit rollercoaster and basically wrote off the first two weeks I was owed that they said I wasn't entitled to. BS because a mate worked in the jobcentre and told me the entitlement I had. Luckily I was back in work after a month and got my first payment for two weeks after I had started work again.

    Even before working from home it was a mess of a system. Good luck you'll need it!
