DWP have confirmed to us that when DWP phones a claimant it will no longer show up as ‘withheld number’ but 0800 0232 635.

If claimants then ring the number, a pre-recorded message will inform them that DWP called them, and that they will call them back.

I’ve always been baffled by this cuz it’s always showed up as 0800 0232 635 on my phone.
