Representation

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
What guidance prohibits naming a representative over the telephone?

I am in receipt of DLA and wanted to name my representative over the phone but it has been refused to acknowledge despite my identity check.

I would appreciate clarification what law or guidance prohibits that.

Yours faithfully,
Joerg Thieme
