The following is an extract from the above link. Once the person helping you has a registered power of attorney, they will need to tell HMRC so they can update their records. Tell HMRC about the power of attorney by phone The person helping you can tell HMRC by phone if all of the following apply: the LPA was registered on or after 1 January 2016 in England or Wales they have an LPA online account they can make decisions about property and financial affairs The person helping you will need to contact the relevant HMRC helpline. For example, they need to call the National Insurance helpline if they’re calling about National Insurance contributions. When they call, the person helping you will need to give HMRC an access code so they can check that the LPA is valid. To get an access code, the person helping you will need to sign in to their LPA online account. Access codes are 13 characters long and start with a V, for example, V-AB12-CD34-EF56. Access codes can only be given over the phone, they cannot be sent by post After I phone the HMRC helpline they say this is not possible and they cannot accept the code over the phone please explain why?
