DWP sending out letters on my husbands and my private pension

Hi guys

I had a letter today from the DWP. I am in receipt of ESA, non working group, not UC.

The letter is asking for my partners and my pension income and also form about working. I explained I don’t work. So I am presuming it’s a standard letter sent to whoever.

I spoke with a helpful person who advised me that the DWP are sending these letters as standard for Data. She explained it doesn’t affect my claim and to complete the form.

I just don’t know why the DWP wants my husband’s pension information, as ESA contribution isn’t means tested.

Have you come across these types of letters before?

Thank you
Minxy

Hi Minxy

As you say it does not affect your claim so if you ignore it there will be no further consequences.
Does the letter give a deadline for return?
