@Destiny_Stone29 Yep, @LBC and @GlobalPlayer down on all my devices too

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@ennie21_ I hope it goes in for you. This randomness and waiting is just awful. 😕

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

Cost Of Living payment FINALLY in.

Cost Of Living payment about to go straight out to Ovo.

Oh well 😐

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@crazylifeovmine Yes. On ESA. Previous 2 payments roughly after a week. My bank (Barclays) processes Mon payments on a Sat and not in, so earliest Tuesday.

Seen others who bank with Monzo etc seeing pending for Tues too.

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@cwrsings @tamaragoodwin96 Yes, on 2nd Feb, and have received previous 2 payments.

Didn't receive it today for Monday 12th either. (Bank posts Monday deposits on prev Sat).

Soonest I will see it is Tues 13th.

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

No cost of living payment again 😔

Was hoping to do a little food shopping & pay bills before my ESA on Tue

This system is cruel - checking bank acc nightly only to have hopes dashed

I hate living hand to mouth. I hate my disability & wish I could work to escape this poverty

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

Has anyone on ESA (Income based) received their Cost of Living payment yet?

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@Danielle_W_87 @Marzzyio Panic over.

ESA and CoL just went in at 01.00

Id got myself into a right state...

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@Stokielad74 I think legacy benefits like JSA and income-related ESA are being left til last this time around. All others I know who've had theirs are on UC.

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

No #CostOfLivingPayment for Mon 6th. ESA/Barclays.

(as Barclays clear / available payments for Mondays just after midnight on a Saturday morning)

This is just uugh now. Everybody else I know who is entitled to a Col payment has had theirs by now.

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@sianirving85 @IanBNew For me, every BACS payment clears at 12.02 and I'm with Barclays.

Mine didn't arrive today either (ESA)

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

Still no #CostOfLivingPayment
(ESA / Barclays)

Luckily I got my PiP yesterday so I have food and gas again. This whole waiting game is cruel. They should at least give people a more precise date when to expect the payment rather than a 20 day "lottery".

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

#CostOfLivingPayment not gone in again tonight 😭

ESA / Barclays

No gas or food for 3 days now. Luckily my PiP goes in Thursday. My increased weekly care cost is making it impossible to balance my budget each week. I'm desperate for this little bit of extra help.

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@MelJStride @DWPgovuk This doesn't even cover my care costs for a WEEK, let alone my cost of living!

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@Yorkshi52770900 @MelJStride @RishiSunak @DWPgovuk Will gladly give you my £150 if you want it that much.

Will also happily swap my disability that needs 24hr care and keeps me housebound, for your ability to go out and work.

Deal?

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@mattiwhufc @ndolllxo ESA here too and still not got mine. I was paid 1st or 2nd day on all previous payment runs.

DWP posted that 99% of people will be paid by 3rd though

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@MumMum36 @markwooltorton @MartinSLewis I got mine on the first day last time. Not had mine yet. Also my surname begins with "B".

It's totally random (allegedly). Worried though as DWP posted that 99% people already paid, and I'm not being paid on Tues. (Barclays customers paid Tues 2nd had money Sat 29th)

[RachelB @GrumpyGalRachel]

@mckay_fraser @DW12085 My normal ESA is on Wed. Was just hoping that it would come in before that so I could buy some decent food for this weekend.

Keeping the electricity on more of a priority due to refrigerated meds.
