Hi, my name is kimb12344! Oct 19th no £150 payment

Hello is anyone still waiting for their £150 pip cost of living payment? I have filled out the missing form over 2 weeks ago no emails or letters, it’s the 19th of October now and everyone I know has received there’s back in September but I am yet to have mine, have been on pip for around 9 years

I'm sorry to hear this @kimb12344 that's very frustrating and I wish I could do more to help!

I had a theory that people awarded PIP more recently were having to wait longer, but this shows there's no pattern to it at all. I'm not sure what to suggest other than trying to chase it up with PIP, although it sounds like the payments are being sorted separately from that department. 

To help other members share their thoughts with you, I've moved this post over into our Cost of Living category, which I hope will help. 

How are you managing with things day to day at the moment?

Keep us in the loop with how things go, and I hope it comes through soon for you

I haven't got mine either, I phoned them and they confirmed I was entitled to it, even though I applied end of April and didn't receive anything until August. 
Filled out form nearly 2 weeks ago, not heard a thing...

Still not heard anything haven’t had an email or letter nothing, have been on pip for many years now so it’s not a new claim, I don’t understand why it’s taking so long and you can’t get any answers from them when you phone just to fill out the missing form which I did weeks ago

@Alex_Scope have been on pip for years so don’t think it’s the new claims thing, and yeah they just tell you to fill out the form which is annoying because already did that and I‘m doing ok, everything’s just become a struggle with the cost of everything especially gas and electric, my mental health is worse because of all the stress and can’t get an appointment with anyone it’s awful

Not had mine either, despite qualifying. I filled in the form to notify of a missing payment on 4th October and heard nothing at all. It is confusing.
