What are you referring to when you say appeal letter?
Which benefits were you receiving between 26th April to 25th May?
CoL payments come from DWP or HMRC depending on what gives rise to your entitlement.

Welcome to the community @kb123 Thank you for joining us!

Has calcotti's comment helped to clear that up for you? I know it can all get a bit confusing.

You haven't said which benefits exactly you're claiming. If you're entitled to any of the CoL payments and you haven't received it then you can report a missing payment here. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment#report-a-missing-cost-of-living-payment

All of the payments come from government funding which in turn is what they receive by way of taxation in one form or another.

This sounds really difficult @kb123. What, if anything, might make this feel more manageable for you at the moment?

For example, I am wondering if you have a point of contact for someone who could help. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to support you
