r/DWPhelp is a subreddit with 37k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses uc, pip, assessment, review, and struggling.
An inclusive place for advice, support and (polite) venting about you or your loved ones' experienced with the UK welfare benefits system - this includes DWP, SSS, DfC, Council, and HMRC benefits.
We are not affiliated with any organisation.
Do not message moderators asking for advice unless invited personally to do so.
We will not help anyone cheat the system nor will we support benefit fraud. Asking or helping benefit cheats is something we ban for. You've been warned.
