Pip cost of living payment still not received.

Aaaaa17

Hello my name is Angela, I’m in receipt of pip & universal credit, I’m just wondering if anyone else hasn’t received their £150 cost of living payment? I did receive the £326 cost of living payment, I’ve been under the impression I was due to get the £150 from 20th September (obviously I was awear of the delay) but as of today 7/10/22 I still haven’t received the £150.

There's lots of others that haven't received it too. You can report a missing payment here. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment#report-a-missing-cost-of-living-payment

 Thank you poppy, that's been a great help. I was worried as everyone I know has had there's already. I filled the form it says they will be back in touch with in around two weeks.

You are welcome @Aaaaa17. It is the very least you deserve and I am glad to hear we were able to help.

How are you feeling about things at the moment? Hopefully, you will receive yours soon

Hi, I haven't either as of the 10th of Oct. I filled in the from over a week ago. Hope we get ours soon.

Hi, I have not received my payment either as of the 10th of October, also filled in a form over a week ago. I read somewhere that they hope to have paid out everyone by the first two weeks of October, so as it is the end of this week let's hope we all get ours soon.

Good afternoon all, I've received a letter from the dwp saying I am eligible for the £150 payment and it will be in my account under DWP cost of living, it didn't state a date it just said the payment will be in due course.

Thank you for keeping us updated @Aaaaa17 Let us know when it comes in!

Melj

I also received my letter on Tuesday also no date stated

Aaaaa17

I've spoken to a friend and she said she got hers on the same day (in two different transactions) as her pip payment. I'm not sure if this is how it's been rolled out or not. But no one seems to give an accurate date for payment. I thought the letter was very lazy. 🤞our Payments come soon

It's paid as a separate payment to your usual PIP amount.

Yes that what my friend said her was paid the same day as her pip on two amounts, her usual pip and the £150 payment.

@tony83 Hello and welcome to our online community! How are you today?

I hope reading other people's stories about them being in a similar position has reassured you that you aren't alone. Fingers definitely crossed for next week. Please do update us on how you get on.

I have just spoken to the dwp with regards to the 150 pound cost of living payment, apparently it is being processed by a small department which you cannot contact. The gentlemen said there is a direct internal email staff can use to contact them, however, when they email they get the comment we will get to it when we get to it, not very helpful, but it can go in at anytime so it sounds like they are manually paying it and not by bacs

Thanks for confirming @Melj

I hope others see this as a reason not to bother calling.

Sounds like just that thersee Coffey is sat there with her cigar processing it and it's random who gets it. Utter shambles it is and many left like this. As soon as possible means God knows when.... this government is just one utter joke.

Melj

Well I have decided that if it is not in my bank by tomorrow morning I am going to bombard the secretary of state for dwp with emails until I get it

Therese Coffey is no longer the Work & Pensions Secretary and is now (somehow) Health Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister. Chloe Smith has taken up her role at Work & Pensions.
