Watch out for this one. My son just spent an hour on the 'phone stopping the DWP taking 20% out of his salary next month.
His name (miss-spelled) , address and NI No had been used for a fraudulent claim for £1306.
Letters sent from DWP are NOT the scam and MUST be replied to otherwise DWP will just take the money.
