Where a face-to-face consultation is required, claimants are encouraged to bring another person with them where they would find this helpful.</p><p> </p><p>In exceptional circumstances, where a claimant is unable to deal with the Department by telephone and has no one to help them make the telephone call, claimants can request a paper version of the initial claim form. Additionally we can offer a home visit. The Department does not collect details of the number of requested or issued paper claim forms.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 16/06/2014 14:14:33 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
