Yeah it'd make total sense but then it wouldn't be the government 🤔
I thought alphabetically may be a factor as a friend of mine got the July col payment the day after I got mine and his name is walker. -
One of my Facebook friends has rang PIP, she claims she been told she'll get COL on the 27 SEP. And the payment already been sent to her bank. This makes zero sense to me. The dates don't add up. There is some weirdness on Facebook at the moment. I don't advise people ring PIP up. This sounds shady to me. They don't usually tell people dates for COL payments. Isn't the government the one making the payments.

The call centre (PIP) will not know the dates the CoL payment will be made. They very often tell people what they want to here. Yes the Government make the payments, not DWP.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
It does state on the cost of living information site if you have not received it by mid October and you think your entitled to then contact them. So could be anytime in the next 3 weeks. When I got my last cost of living payment it was listed on my bank statement as DWP CoL and I just got a text tonight from the DWP telling me payments are been made for cost of living and a link to the cost of payments government website. So while it is government funded for those of us on pip/esa etc it is been paid into our banks by DWP.

Can I ask where your getting your information from? It clearly says on the government website:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment From the department of work and pensions.. the payment into my bank was marked DWP CoL.. even the text regarding the payments is from the DWP and if you don’t get the payment and you think your entitled to it, you contact.. DWP?
-
As far as I am aware CoL payments are being made by DWP. The important point however is that they are, as far as I know, being administered separately from the other benefits people normally receive so contacting people on ESA or PIP telephone numbers etc will not have details of CoL.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

Hello Everyone. Sorry new here but people wondering how and when they might receive this payment same as me. Due to the volume of people involved in this which is over 6 million people and as much as we would all love computer systems to do what we say there are blockers in place. from a finance point of view a system or payment portal will only allow so many transactions in one payment run.
From my understanding on DWP and government and how they run they do approximately 3-5 payment runs a day (from 10am to 6pm).
So assuming they do 5 payment runs each run will contain maybe 100,000 people at a time. so a day they are paying 500,000 people and given they said people will start to receive from 20th September through to early October and only working on Monday-Friday this would generally take up to the 4th October for everyone to receive payment by. Give or take.
This is just the nature of the computer system world we live in to prevent fraud and duplications otherwise banks will always be backlogged also.
Providing no hiccups in their payment runs everyone eligible should receive this by 7th October at the latest (Fingers Crossed) -
I haven't received it yet.
