A Nottingham mum is in dispute with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and says she is still waiting for her first cost of Living Payment months after it was due to be paid. The DWP claim that mum-of-two Sophie Dodsworth, 30, received the first payment in July, but a family bank statement appears to show that the payment was not made on or around the date stated by the Government department.
The payment was supposed to be paid to the same account as the family's Universal Credit payments, and Sophie fears she may not receive the second payment, which is due to be paid to recipients between November 8 and November 23, 2022.
Sophie said: "My partner has obviously put in the report for missing payment and they have not been back in touch, and it's stressing us out. I've got two kids under five and we should be entitled to something like these extra payments from the DWP but they are just not issuing it to us.
