Dwp £299

[Maydup]

Any ideas why my relative has received £299 from DWP this week. Pensioner on pension credit but received all the cost of living payments due earlier in the year. I'm not there to read any letters sent, just checking the bank balance.

It might include arrears due, but if that is the case they would have received notification of a change.

If it's a cost of living payment, it should say DWP COL on the bank statement.

The last COL payment was in February, there are no more planned.

I'd suggest he phone them if he has an hour to hang on waiting for them to answer

I wd.... not spend it yet. It may be arrears - no I do not think he shd say that it is not his to anyone at the DoSS

I've checked and it did say DWP COL, so it must be the Feb payment- very late.
