I’m sure I’m not the only one but I am getting worried now as it’s the start of November and still have not received the 150 cost of living payment for PIP and still not heard anything no confirmation nothing😣

People are still waiting. There are numerous threads on the forum. Ifyou haven’t done it yet you can report a missing payment here

If you have already reported it you just have to continue to wait.

I can imagine it'd be worrying @Rachel31 I really hope you don't have to wait too much longer! 

Are you coping okay in the meantime? 

Rachel31

Ok was just seeing if others where still waiting, thanks tori for asking also I am blessed that I have a supportive family that help me, buts it’s frustrating as you know not working and living off low income I hope your well 😊

Still waiting too

Yes, others are definitely still waiting @Rachel31 It's great that your family are supportive. 

Times are definitely tough for many people at the moment- especially disabled people! Have you been able to cut down on any costs? I know that that's not really a perfect solution, when prices are so high...

I'm well thank you

Well fortunately I actually still living at home with parents because I could never afford to live on my own and my mum is basically my career, but Iv actually paying more rent because the cost of living has gone up so it helps my Dad !! I’m 31 and I feel like I have no life it’s so depressing I’m not able to work and M.E/ chronic fatigue syndrome is not a well understood health condition
