New DWP Postal addresses?
I was told by ESA this morning that there are new postal addresses for the various Benefit Centres. Apparently post will get there ‘even quicker and even more safely’ than it did to the old Wolverhampton addresses!
The 2 example addresses I was given were for Sunderland - Freepost DWP ESA 30 and for Hull - Freepost DWP ESA 17.
Has anyone got the complete list?
this is a DWP response dated 11 Jan 2017 to an FOI request:

Marvellous, thanks Shawn. Bizarre that it takes a FOI Request to get its address out of it…
One snag with these addresses is that they do not have a postcode. Only this week I wrote to the Child Support Agency on a client’s behalf, to the address shown on the letterhead:
Child Support Agency 10
FREEPOST DWP
The post office was unable to issue a proof of posting because their system only accepts addresses with a postcode.
