Hello Pinky

The best thing to do is to follow the advice on the Government website:

www.gov.uk/lost-national-insurance-number

Tells you how to find a your number if you don't know it.

Getting in touch with your Local Benefits Office.

Over time the benefits offices have renamed themselves, from Benefits Office, Job Centre and Social Security.

It’s even been affectionately known as the Dole Office by some.

To search for an address, to write to your area's Benefits or Job Centre, please visit the .Gov website by selecting this link - Contact my Benefits Office

For Housing and Council Tax related queries.

These are usually handled by your Local Council.

English Councils:

To find your Local Council details we have found a link to most of the English Local Councils

Then select your County, then Town and you should be able to track down the Council you require.

For Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland Councils:

If you live in Wales then you need to contact the Welsh First Point of Contact Centre

If you live in Scotland, you need to contact the Scottish Local Government. Once on this page search for your local Council in the drop down box.

If you live in Northern Ireland, there is a list of Local Councils available here.

For all other Benefit Related Queries:

Such as Job Seekers allowance, Income Support, Incapacity Benefit, Employment and Security Allowance, Maternity, Bereavement, Social Funds, Universal Credits or existing claims.

These are all handled by your local Job Centre Plus.

To contact your Local Jobcentre

New benefit claims

  • Telephone: 0800 055 6688
  • Textphone: 0800 023 4888 
  • Welsh language: 0800 012 1888 

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm 

You can also claim Jobseekers Allowance online

Existing benefit claims

Call the appropriate number for your benefit to:

  • discuss a claim you’ve already made.
  • tell the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) about a change in your circumstances, eg you start working or your income changes.
  • You’ll need your National Insurance number and date of birth when you call any of these numbers.

If any of the information on this page is found to be incorrect, please contact us and I will ensure it is updated, as well as periodically updating it.

Please note, I AM NOT an employee of the Job Centre, I have simply collated some contact information for you. Please do not send me specific Benefit questions or ask for any further information as I will be unable to respond to those emails.

This data is correct as of 01/08/17

Contacting your Local Delivery Office

Unfortunately, you can no longer visibly see any contact details for your local delivery office from the Royal Mail website. 

We still have a lot of numbers listed for local delivery offices on this site (as well as reviews and feedback), which can be found here:

Royal Mail Delivery Offices - Simply search for your area.

But for all the offices that no longer have a direct number, or for those we have been asked to remove the phone details, your only option is to go to the general customer services phone number: 0345 740 740

Please note, I AM NOT an employee of Royal Mail, I have simply collated some contact information for you. Please do not ask me for any further information as I will be unable to respond to those emails.

Getting help with your tax query

In recent years, tax offices have either merged with local Job Centre Offices, closed, or are now dealt with by a central office. You can contact HMRC by calling direct by phoning the relevant department, the official numbers are all listed below.

The HMRC helplines tend be extremely busy, so it is advisable to try and steer clear of normal peak calling times like lunchtime or late afternoon.

A lot of questions can be answered directly by looking on the HM Revenue & Customs website.
