    New too the group so Hi. I finally managed to speak to a person today about the £150 disability payment. I told her Ihad filled in on line form 4 weeks ago and still no reply or money. She said because there was 19000 people so far who had filled in the form they are literally working through the list as the complaints come in. Couldnt tell me when I would get paid but I was definitely entitled to the payment so just have to wait. Also told me I hadn't been sent a letter yet which I told her I knew that.. Anyway its once again a waiting game. Hope this is of some use to folk who are in same position.

    Hi Florence,
    I wonder how many people they have working through the 19,000. One? Two? I emailed my MP Monday morning to complain and had an almost immediate reply and he was in touch with the DWP Monday afternoon.
    Just checked my bank account.............zilch!

    I don't know how that was possible because there's no phone number to contact them on. If you rang the PIP helpline then i would take what you've been told with a pinch of salt. The £150 has nothing to do with PIP.

    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  :)

    Today is only the first day, myself and others are also waiting too. I'm personally not bothered as I know it'll come with time.

    They have up until 4th July so plenty of time yet. I didn’t have mine either but I’m not bothered because I know it will arrive at some point.

    Strange one.  My son isn't on PIP (or any other benefits) ... had a notification on his phone about the CoL Friday ... then it disappeared and nothing in his text folder  :|

    Not had mine yet, nor had a text ... but know it'll be here sometime

    This is an old thread about last years £150 CoL payment. Like last year you do not need to apply. The form you're talking about is what you fill in if you don't receive the payment by 4th July. It will not be available until 5th July. As it's only day one, there's plenty of time left to receive it.

    Thank you in advance.

    If your PIP award is a fairly new award then this could be the reason why you haven't yet received it. Nothing more you can but wait. You probably won't hear from them and it will eventually be paid into your bank.
