DWP new number is Cisco support for...internet dongles

DWP have changed all their phone numbers, helpfully, without telling anyone. After being cut off the usual 8 times and being kept on hold for 25 minutes, as standard, I am given the new number.

Which puts you through to Cisco, a huge Pakistani IT firm that sells internet to offices.

How are people going to manage any of their affairs like this? Including the sick and the disabled, might I add, who are also being put through to an automatic line asking them to describe the model of their internet dongle.

I had to phone the DWP this morning and got through on the new number. This was the pension department though so they've obviously got that part right.

Number I've been given is 0800 169 0310. Is that the one you called?

yep, yours works.

08001690140 is the right number too.
