I've done it twice now. An hour or two answering various questions about income, expenditure, etc. Hardly onerous and almost all of the information the Government could find out about me as an individual anyway. Voluntary too, so if you say no they'll move on and find someone else.
I've got a £10 voucher in the post for each one.
The past few days I've had a note through my door (on official looking headed paper) saying I've been selected by the office of national statistics to take part in one of their surveys.
I had someone call at my door this evening (laminated pass and whatnot) saying that they were from the ONS and wanted to interview me. I said it wasn't convenient (I was eating my tea) and they said we could do it by phone tomorrow.
It seems kosher but obviously a bit wary of giving out personal info. Any thoughts?
