Expert Opinion
If you see 0800 169 0310 on a caller‑ID, it’s most likely the Department for Work and Pensions helpline. The line is officially government‑run, but you’ll often face long waits and occasional call‑backs rather than a direct answer. Always double‑check any letter or text that asks you to call back – a genuine DWP contact will reference your claim reference and will never ask for money up front. When you do get through, have your National Insurance number and benefit details ready, stay patient on hold, and ask for a written summary of any advice. If the call feels aggressive or asks for payment, hang up and verify via the official DWP website.
