Hi I just wondered if any one can clarify what a PIP/ADP/Benefit CALL HANDLER can actually see with regards to your case when you ring them or web chat for an update? I'm beginning to wonder if most are just reading from a script (as I get almost identical answers when I contact them). Thanks in advance

DWP call handlers certainly follow scripts depending on the nature of the claimant's reason for calling.
As to what information they see, we don't know. Access to information should be based on a need to know basis for the job role the person has.

For what it's worth lauren, when I called recently to check if my PA4 had been sent out as previously asked, the DWP person said they could see it had. They just blamed 'post Christmas post' for its non arrival after the "7-10 working days."
They also helpfully added a note including the PO tracking number, for further medical evidence which has been signed for but not yet scanned into the claim, to alert anyone looking at it that that is due to be added.
So anyone else ringing to check addition of extra documents could ask their call handler to add the tracking number in a note on the system.
Hope that is of some help.
