Make all calls to the Department for Work and Pensions free.

Make all calls to the Department for Work and Pensions free.

Why is this important?

Because charging struggling families up to 55p a minute to claim vital benefit payments by phone is extortionate. Universal Credit, families will be forced to call an 0345 number, incurring charges of up to 55p a minute to claim their benefits.

It’s difficult enough as it is living on disability benefits without being charged 55p/ minute to call the DWP.

More often than not it’s their mistake you’re rectifying when you call, I don’t see why anyone should be charged such an extortionate fee for simply making a phone call.
