Hi @lisaparker
Welcome it’s great to meet you today.
Have you got a local “CAB” as they would be a good starting point.
Please please come back to me if you have any more problems!!!! -
I have yes,but I wondered if anyone on this lovely group could help first as I find it difficult to get out....

Hi,Being entitled to the Income Related top up will totally depend on your circumstances. Living with a partner that works, household income, savings/capital are all things that count for the income related top up. It can take as long as 12 weeks before you hear anything back from DWP and they will write to you once they've made a decision.
