Consumer champion Martin Lewis has sounded the alarm on the £150 cost of living payment for people on disability benefits, saying "not one person" appears to have received it.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has admitted there have been delays in sending out the payments, which were expected to start going out on Tuesday (September 20). The DWP told Money Saving Expert, founded by Lewis, that "operational issues" led to delays in sending out the money.
DWP said the operational problems meant it has so far only been able to send out a limited number of payments, but when Lewis sent out a tweet asking if anyone had received the money, no one out of 5,000 responders said they had. A further 1,700 people on Facebook said the same thing.
