Received a letter from the DWP and not sure what it means?

We explain it in simple English so you understand what it is about and what you may need to do.

What a DWP letter means

DWP letters usually relate to benefits, payments, or changes to your claim.

They may include:
• Payment updates  
• Requests for information  
• Decisions about your claim  

Do you need to respond?

Not always.

Some letters are just updates, while others may ask for action.

What happens next

This depends on the type of letter, but may involve:
• Providing information  
• Waiting for a decision  
• Reviewing your claim  

DWP letters can be confusing, but they are much easier to understand once explained clearly.
