    Hello @NanaS ,

    Whether the DWP acknowledge receipt of the judgement or not is irrelevant. Claiming to have not received it is not a reason to not comply with a court order.

    I suggest you phone the DWP and quote the court judgement reference code from your letter. They can then confirm this themselves.
    Tell them they have two weeks to comply with the court order or you will seek enforcement action from the court. Then follow this up with a letter.

    Courts consider the post as adequate notification.
