My nearest jobcentre is Alnwick.
Thanks Gordon, I'll look at the document request form tomorrow.
Hi D,
Most of the DWP's mail is now processed through the Wolverhampton site.
It is opened at Wolverhampton then re-directed to the appropriate Benefits Office/Centre.
As Gordon has advised, I would post your fit note, etc to the address on the last letter regarding the MR from the DWP.
Keep copies of the covering letter and "fit note" :
Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS
If you are to make a SAR, I would treat this as a separate issue.
I would post it to the same address, in a separate envelope, FAO The Data Controller. You can also write DPA 1998 SAR on the front, top, left corner of the envelope.
Once The DWP have received the SAR, they have 40 calendar days to comply.

Just waiting for the money to be paid now, and of course the appeal. Thanks for your help so far.

Hi D,
I'm glad to hear that your "fit note" arrived at the appropriate office via Wolverhampton, and did not go missing at Wolverhampton. (aka "The Black Hole")
Please keep us updated !!
