We have received four notifications, of separate cold weather payments. We have received only one payment, to date
Last year, we received three notifications, but received only one payment.
Anyone else noticed this happening.

Many Thanks Sylvia. The OH is going to give them a call after 2.00, to allow for their lunch breaks, and to avoid being passed around like a parcel at a Christmas game. LOL

Kriss, I think Julia comes under the Disability Mode, because she,s been unable to fill a Jar with Shallots to send to me ( As Promised ) so there must be something wrong.**M**.PMSL.:o)>

Whilst I have been out this adternoon, having a coffee with a nice lady from the General Board, the OH has rung them in Belfast, re the back payments. Yes, they admitted they had a backlog, but the back three payments would be in the account this Monday, when the pensions go in.
Thanks everybody who gave good advice.

What an awful waste of paper to let people know tho, two pages each time and a huge brown envelope! Surely a small note in a small envelope would suffice!
