In reality no one should need these payments, just stop the greed from the private sector and make the bills affordable. Payments help pensioners but what about working people on low wages who are being screwed over ?
If people do not want the payment then there is no point coming here and telling those who are waiting !!!
IF YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA PLEASE WRITE TO YOU MEMBER of PARLIAMENT (as I intend to do)
Will you please do likewise. The Government could increase the payments enormously.
3 hours on the phone.
4 promised payment dates.
1 apology from a DWP manager.
1 unusual situation, they blame the new computer and not the virus. How refreshing.
Today the missing payment for my wife arrived !
Proof indeed that hard work can produce results.
Keep at it, do not let the ........ grind you down !
4 phone calls to DWP.
2.5 hours holding the phone to get an answer.
3 promised payment dates.
Still no payment.
No answer to emails.
Do not waste time phoning, they are liars and will say anything to get rid of you.
We now accept there will be no payment.

I was given the same reason when mine was late, the "should be" date did not happen for "some reason" !!
Does some dozy office junior have his / her finger on the computer button that launches the nukes, please no, just let them sort out the virus / Brexit / M20 truck park .
The payment for my wife was sent on 10 Dec (as they said on the phone) but it has still not arrived.

No money arrived.
Phoned again and they said mine was sent on 26 Nov, when I said it had not been received they checked and said that it had not been sent but they did not know why.
Promised mine would be sent on 22/12/20.
Told that my wife's payment was sent on 10/12/20, so where is it ?
That is three problems so far. First problem was "computer error"
Now we wait for "its the virus" then "Brexit problem" followed by "Trump's fault"
What chance now of ever seeing this money ?
