Hi Mick,
It's a benefits check. Hope this helps.

It's purely a benefits check to check he's claiming what he should be and nothing else. There's no need to worry. If it was anything else the letter would state a compliance interview and it doesn't. A performance measures check is completely different. Tell him to sleep well tonight and not lose any sleep over it.

A Performance Measurement review officer may visit you if you’re claiming:Employment and Support Allowance
Housing Benefit
Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
Pension Credit
Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
Universal Credit
Your name is selected at random to be checked. You’ll get a letter in advance telling you about the visit.
Check their identity
You can check the identity of the Performance Measurement review officer by:
What to expect
The officer will interview you in your home and will want to see 2 forms of identification.
You can reschedule the visit if you need to.
They’ll also ask to see documents about money, savings and rent, for example:
payslips
bank, building society or Post Office accounts
rent book or tenancy agreement
benefits and tax credit awards
Visits usually last up to an hour but may be longer.

No worries. I'm not sure why he thought it would have been anything to do with Carers allowance. Google is a great place to put in any questions, 9 times out of 10 you'll get an answer somewhere on the internet.

It will be just a coincidence. The person he spoke is correct, it's random the people they do these checks on and his name has been chosen.

Just thought I would take the time to let you know that the DWP rep turned up as arranged
He asked many questions checked bank statement and rent and the like asked who he cared for so he’s had to give my name asked he’s girlfriends name asked if he was doing any other paid work and then asked him to sign price of paper which he folded and then he said things would stop as they are he was concerned because he was asking people’s names who weren’t even there

Hi,
They usually ask questions about the claimants circumstances, it's a standard procedure for these checks. It wasn't a compliance interview so there's nothing to worry about.
