This payment has hit my bank account today and I am very thankful.
Being over 80 and on my own it is £600 .
When my H was alive and we didn’t get the extra cost of living payment we would donate it to charity every year.
Now I am on a much reduced fixed income I do donate some of it but am very grateful to be able to keep warm and cozy.

I'm waiting with interest. I'm due £500 but they have told me I'll be getting £250. They believe I live in a care home. I don't, I live in an individual but supported flat, and I made that clear by letter when I moved in.

The complex manager has written a supporting letter, to which there was no reply.

We'll see. One of my neighbours had to get the local MP to sort it out, so that'll be my next step.

Well, hats off to them. I got an ominous brown envelope today but it was to say they'd updated my info, and I'd be getting the £500 within the next three weeks. 🙂🥶

Good News!

That isn’t your WFA Lemsip.
It’s the COL (cost of living) payments made to those receiving certain benefits. If you check back you’ll have had £300 in May/June too.
Do read through the thread - others in your situation were confused about the payments.
Your WFA is still to come.
