Hi to all,

I recived the cost of living payment I was sent a text before I recived an email and because of this I was cautious it might have been a scam because their was a link to click on it did say Gov UK but until I recived the email I was unsure.

Did this happen to anyone Else 🤔 
I have my Heart ❤️ Scan in the morning I cannot sleep hence why I am on here.

    The text wasn’t a scam because i received one. Didn’t receive an email but they don’t know my email address so they couldn’t have sent one. I’d say it’s unlikely to be a scam. 
    It doesn’t matter now anyway because you received your money.
    Good luck for the scan today.

    Hi Tori-Scope,

    I Went for my scan today got their for 8.30 and didn't come out while 10.30 I had my scan at 9.30 got an email from the Cardiologist at 10 saying I need to have An Echo Scan
    they R sending me an appointment to have a heart scan.

    Thn I presume I will see the cardiologist after the scan to find out what the problem is today when I had the the finger monitor on it was going haywire from 12 to 20 or more and bleeping to say the least freaked me out.

    Hi all! 

    Still at a crossroads with my first payment! Never received the first payment and did the online form on the 1st August. Had a letter in my journal on the 9th August saying the can see I did not receive the first payment and I am entitled and to expect payment in September. 

    So here we are now the 6th October and still have not received anything… I phone them this morning and said case manager would get back to me regarding this and literally said in my journal they can’t determine when or not I will receive the payment and my eligibility but I have a letter on my journal!!! 

    Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem with being told they would receive and still haven’t.

    Hi to you all,
    Thankyou for your loverly replies I don't get to go for my Echo scan for 7 months which is a long time I thought they would have done it sooner than that they R very slow especially when I've previously had these problems before 2 years ago and they didn't listen to me untill I went back to the doctors.

    Thinking optimistically, perhaps that's a positive sign @Sparklebright63? I'd assume (hope) that if it was something that needed to be urgently addressed, they'd have fast tracked you for the next scan.

    Yes but thar leaves me more time to be anxious about what is going to be and dosnt help when I have been diagnosed with pstd and have many health problems already just makes me feel more broken 💔 than I already am.
    So results in more Stress was trying to stay positive and just feel worse now than I did before.

    That's understandable @Sparklebright63. Do you have any plans for how you could try and take your mind off of things in the meantime?
