This appears to be a DWP number, but I would still check my Universal Credit journal or use official contact details before sharing anything.

DWP Universal credit, was actually on here to find out who was calling me when they called me again so I answered, I was expecting a call from them anyway. It was DWP UC to change a telephone appointment at my request.

DWP Universal credit, was expecting a call and this was it, I know it is genuine as I had a reference for it on my online UC account

Scam/Fraud

I have been receiving calls,but not answering them, almost daily for two weeks from this number (my phone screens all unknown numbers & sends them direct to voicemail). No voicemails have ever been left. The number is listed as DWP. Having just spoken to DWP (after receiving a text message & calling the official helpline # which is different to this one ~ correct UC helpline # 08001690190) I was told that I was wise to not accept the calls as claimants are always sent a text message beforehand if there are any issues/concerns or appointments related to their claim/account etc. My suggestion is to ignore this number, check your personal online UC account and/or call the 08001690190 number.
