Recent issues with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have raised concerns among benefit recipients. Over 1,000 DWP payments were reported to be three months late, confirmed as not being a scam. Additionally, the DWP has warned that Universal Credit recipients must respond to specific letters to avoid cessation of benefits. In a separate incident, recipients of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) could see their payments stopped due to misunderstandings related to summer holiday activities. Furthermore, approximately 156,000 people have been instructed to repay their received benefits, intensifying scrutiny on the DWP. There is also an ongoing issue with the Carer’s Allowance, where an 'alert' problem could potentially push thousands into debt.
