    Hi,

    There's nothing fishy going on at all. It's just an error made by the computers at DWP. It's happened to a lot of people and is nothing to worry about. You'll receive the other half on the date you're supposed to receive it. After this payments will return to normal.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
