⚠️ Someone claiming to be calling on behalf of the DWP? Be cautious.

We’re raising the alarm after our Scams Officer heard from a 94-year-old woman who received repeated calls from a company offering to help her claim Attendance Allowance. The callers asked about her health and requested her bank details.

The company is reportedly charging £350 to assist with a Blue Badge applications too.

You do not need to pay for help with an Attendance Allowance or Blue Badge application. We can help you apply for free.

If someone calls claiming to work with or on behalf of the DWP, don’t assume they are officially connected. Be careful about sharing personal or bank details, and check before agreeing to any fees.

📞 Need help with Attendance Allowance or Blue Badge? Call our Information and Advice team on 01273 476704.

Please share to help others stay safe.
