@san23, yes contact the DWP and explain your concern about the gap in payments of the one month.it may have been a typing error so ring tomorrow have the correct Identification to hand when you call. Give the community an update if successful.0

Hello Wilko, I had called them and they told me it’s just an error these days on award letters with dates, so just ignore, I will keep getting payments. Even this message is recorded when you call DLA about incorrect dates.0
