If it is Income Related, is it possible that he missed the payment in his bank? It would have said DWP CoL payment (£326) paid in July.

fyi - MiL's account received the DWP Col on Friday. So it may have been received by now for the OP's brother.
Took me a minute to figure our what it was when I was checking her account. She didn't get the July payment, presumably as she was in hospital at the time and not in received of AA as a result. AA did resume when she moved to a care home but she died 20th Sept so I'm surprised she got the Col - then again the death was just registered last Wed so systems would have been go by then. I'm assuming they may decide to ask for it back.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

The July payment was for people on means-tested benefits, there's only one for disability benefits.Brie said:fyi - MiL's account received the DWP Col on Friday. So it may have been received by now for the OP's brother.
