Right I’ve been contacted and told I’m not entitled to the col payment with me being on both income related and contribution esa as I receive more of the contribution esa ie if was just income I would weekly only receive £30 plus but my contribution amount is £162.50 weekly and they said it’s unfortunate but it’s the government’s ruling. I been told be possible good idea inquiring about universal credit where I’d get extra support.

I’m really sorry to hear that. Is it worth speaking to your MP about this? 

Do you mind me asking how you were contacted, did they call you? Did you receive a letter? I’m only asking as I haven’t yet been contacted. I fear I may receive a similar response. 

I got to be honest I got fed up of waiting so I rang them up least I should receive £150 in September for my pip 

Who did you contact?

Dwp on 08001690190 then they put me through to the relevent people but you can be on hold for a very long time.

DWP are not responsible for paying the CoL payment. To report a missing payment see link. https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/report-a-missing-cost-of-living-payment/benefit-entitlement/

You didn't answer my question either.

Just to add futher are you sure your weekly amount is £162.50? or is that your fortnightly amount? Just a thought because you mention if your ESA was Income Related you would only be receiving £30/week. In a previous comment you said your partner receives a pension every month, how much is that pension? that will reduce any Income Related ESA you're entitled to £1 for £1.

I agree with calcotti your figures don't make sense.

Actually it’s £325.60 a fortnight 

Therefore at least part of it is Income Related as we continue to advise.

I'm no expert but contributions-based can only be for an individual as far as I know.  It can only possibly be a joint claim if at least part of it is income-related.

Which the figures do indicate.

Has anyone else who completed the CoL missing payment form online heard back yet? I completed the form on the 1st and it did say to give them 2 weeks to respond, but I’ve not heard anything.

Disappointing that we haven’t had a response yet. Not much we can do until they contact us.

I still haven’t received a response. 

I saw on Reddit that someone received a notification on the UC journal on Monday with a letter attached for download stating that they are eligible and will receive payment shortly.

Have been checking my journal so guess just have to wait a little longer
