Name change for this
I have a child with profound disabilities and receive DLA for him. My renewal came through recently and I sent it off with two huge plastic folders worth of hospital letters, reports, and additional information. (Post office must hate me) it needed to be sent off in a plastic envelope as it was so big.
Anyway, toady school handed me an envelope, which is fairly common, we always have letters and forms back and forth due to the nature of his disabilities. However in it was my original DLA form and a letter form the school backing what I had said in the form and some of their letters (which is just copies of what I have already sent).
I am aware that sometimes DLA contact schools to ask questions etc, however they sent my entire original form, on it is personal information such as my banking details, my national insurance number and his national insurance number. I posted about it on a Facebook group and everyone seems to think it’s a data-breech. Just clarifying if it is. It was my and his personal information including bank detail sent via the regular postal service?
Before I call up and enquire I just want to check. From how I understand it if they contact the school they usually phone or write with questions and maybe use quotes but they never send the form as that’s me providing that information only for DLA, as it’s personal. The information about my child is allowed to be shared.
Anyone know?
