08000232635

had this number twice today never heard of it before. i phone income support and job centre and neither heard of number. does anyone know i it genuine or not. i not expectng call and far as i know my benefits ok which i been claiming for a while now.

I have received two calls from this number that I haven't answered. I have not made a claim or any enquiries with the DWP so can't understand why they would be ringing me.

They rang me today. I picked up and heard continuous beeping for awhile. I rang the number back and got the automated voice message about how they would call me back later if they needed to contact me.

After googling this number I am  very confused to what this number is. Is it a scam or is it the department of work and pension? I do claim jobseekers but I am not editing my claim or anything. The only number im expected to really get is the job centre to call me about jobs I can apply for. I will ask the job centre on Monday about this but its starting to worry me.

have rang me 7or8 times since 11am this morning i answer then they hang up

Hi, Has this number call me. Never answered it and returned call to get DWP voice message. They rang back stated they were DWP doing a benefIt review. She spoke poor english. I asked her when was i last in touch with the DWP. She told me and the information i give was correct. Did a review over the phone to see if anything had changed in my circumstances. Had no letter to say they would ring. Totally out of the blue. Could have been reported for something as i upset a lot of people in life. However if it was something dodgy i would of had a letter headed letter from the compliance officer requesting a interview.

If you use 1471 or manually dial 0800232635 you get "beep beep beep the number you have dialed has not been recognised"

this number rang me and i have no idea, if its the dwp if its important they will ring back

Just had a call from this number claiming to be DWP saying it would be a 15 minute interview about my benefits as they no longer send out forms???????? Said I was not happy about the call and they would send out a form instead??? Woman who called has English as a second language so that's why alarm bells rang straight away.

Just missed a call from this number. Interesting to read here that it is allegedly from the DWP as I don't claim any benefits nor receive any benefits, and there's no reason they should be ringing me.

The no called me kept on saying hello just heard noise in the background. Phoned them back and the automated message said the dwp of pensions called you and if they heed to contact u again then they will call you back

Got a call from this number today 08000232635. Didnt answer it as tend to noit answer 0800 numbers. Looking online I see its DWP about new claims but ive been on jsa since may/june last year so why would they need to contact me about a new claim. They left me a voicemail saying 'You have been called by the department of work and pensions but did not answer. We will call you back later' Getting worried now :S

This is job centre

I've just phoned the DWP & they claim it isn't them. I've had 5 calls & when i've answered i just got a bleeping tone. When i've hung up & tried to phone out my phoneline has been tied up & i've been unable to dial out for a few minutes.
When i've rung back the answer mavhine on the other end says it's from the DWP with out giving the deparment that called.

Was called by 08000232635 they said they would like to ask me some security questions, I said 'you phoned me up ,I shoulld be asking you security questions' the lady said 'im from the DWP ' I asked for her ref number she said well I got your n.i number bit you would have to confirm it before I can tellyou it' I said I dont no who you are You phoned me up, the lady stutters and went 'aw um erm err well we will have to send a letter out, I said il phone the DWP myself and hung up

It is the DWP. I had missed one call and answered the second after reading posts on here stating it was the DWP. Spoke to a very nice woman who told me where things were up to. Can't complain about how she dealt with the conversation at all.

I have just received a call I answered and they ask to speak to myself I said speaking she then told me her nname and where she was calling from and it was a review of my entitlement took 10 mins the lady I spoke tp was polite and professional from dwp

Had a call from these at 20 past 5, didn't answer as I was busy. I made a claim around 2 weeks ago, attended the appointment made for me and have been twice to 'sign' since. Don't know what they are calling for. It doesn't seem right that they are calling me when I have already sorted my claim and have been in earlier today.

I had 2 missed calls of this number I rang it back and it was a message saying its dwp and would call me back I rang my local job centre to see if they were trying to contact me they said no theres nothing on my notes so I gave her the number and she said its not a registered number for dwp and not to give any details to them.

Report fed up with it

I am concerned as benefits do not usually ring to do reviews over the phone and I am concerned that this may not be a genuine call I received today 2nd May 2014 at 16.16pm, they knew everything about me and kept asking for details of my claim ie which day I claimed, what benefits I receive etc. Please confirm that this is a genuine call.
