This blog has been opened to help people dont fall foul of theses type of helplines. To be fair to them they do give the information to you but at a very high price for a high tarrif phonecall and the info you get is already free on the official sites.
Firstly the main thing the real UK passport office DOES NOT CHARGE A PREMIUM RATE NUMBER as a help line. All the info you need can be gathered from the official link I have provided. Please do not fall for this scam
THESE FOLLOWING SERVICES PROVIDE INFORMATION WHICH IS ALREADY FREE ON THE NET OR YOU CAN GET THE NUMBER FROM DIRECTORIES . THE MAIN DIFFERENCE WITH THESES SITES IS THEY CHARGE A PREMIUM PHONE RATE CALL AT AROUND £1.50 per min
These 2 sites are run by the same people

Theses are the Direct links to the real passport office and the real Benefits Dept and guess what , thats right no whopping great big premium rate phone number:
UK Passport

Benefits
http://www.dwp.gov.uk/
So make your own mind up but info thats is free in the first place cant be a bad option
