    No letter no payment. I'm a first timer, I hope I don't get forgotten!

    If you are entitled you should of had a letter earlier in the year to confirm your bank details etc.
    Otherwise claim via the appropriate You Gov page.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    OH has had his but no letter yet. He put it towards a new boat. He said he doesn't need the heating on when he's out sailing :D

    I had a letter today they're sending it out and it should be paid within the next three weeks, and they hope to have made all the payments by Christmas!!

    -- so I may have to wait a little while before I can squander it on wine, men, and song :rotfl:

    Mine arrived in the bank today. It will just go into the general pot of my income - just so happens I bought a new dress yesterday, well it will keep me warm-ish.
