Hi dg24652,

The first thing that you would have to do is contact The DWP to find out what the actual purpose of the visit is.

It may not be in connection with your appeal, and may simply be a coincidence.

Whilst on the phone, you could discuss whether or not it would be possible to carry out the meeting at a DWP office.

It could be a Compliance Officer interview, many people have been getting these recently.

Thank you bro58,
Yes it is a compliance officer, I am curious as to what they do as I thought I would just be getting my appeal date any info would be appreciated.

Hi dg,

It is hard to know the exact reason, but quite a lot of our members have had compliance interviews recently.

Most of the instances involving our members have been with respect to checking whether they are in receipt of Occupational Pensions, even when in receipt of non-means tested CB ESA.

Therefore, unless it is as a result of a malicious phone call, etc, it will be to check your financial situation.

In our members instances, they have simply supplied information, regarding OP's, bank accounts, etc, and all has been fine.

They were just routine.
