Good Evening,
I have recently needed to call DWP for the Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) on 0845 608 8757 (as printed on their publications)
I was today informed via their automated announcements that as of Monday March 17th the number will change to: 0
345 608 8545 (note the change in the last 4 digits also)
The message also advised the 0845 version of that number may be dialled, this would give callers two options depending on what number is charged to the caller at the cheapest rate...
I will (should I have the need to call any other DWP numbers) report back if any others have a similar message.
