Hi there @gazmaskell and welcome to the community.

That sounds like a difficult situation, I'm so sorry you're having to go through it. is the claim in your ex's name, or your daughters name?

I'd maybe suggest mentioning to ex that she is currently committing benefit fraud, which is a serious offense.

The money from the DLA is supposed to be used in the best interests of the child. If this is happening then you need to report that.

It has been reported more than once they even rang her not sure what she told them but there is still no money for my daughter
