Right lads and ladies no one else ring - I’m gonna get on again at exactly 4pm and see what the story is with this weeks payment and the money owed to people from previous weeks (whether it’ll be included in this weeks payment)

Illness benefit are NOT taking calls but you are put through to an information line which has no information just put on hold
Ridiculous part payment this week and two weeks missing
Rang the 071 number

If you spent the time that you are spending on the phone wasting your time by instead annoying your local CWO, persistently and doggedly then this would have been sorted out weeks ago because the CWOs would have kicked up murder...

I'm currently on hold with illness benefit number. Should I wait it out or stop wasting my time?

My cwo won't give me an appointment because my husband is earning, I got two payments off her at the very start as he had started a new job and was going from weekly to monthly pay. Now she won't see me despite the fact that his wage only just covers the direct debits.

That's well and good but when you live rural and the cwo officer is 40 mintue drive away as well as dealing with an illness it's not so easy
That is probably why a stink hasn't been caused because we are all dealing with illness

Rang between 4 and 5, call dropped again on 59 minutes

That’s nearly 5 hours today I’ve wasted calling them

I was told last week I would get my normal 198 tomorrow as well as the 33 I was left short of- so 231 in total

Bet your bollocks to a barndoor they’ve been blowing smoke up my arse and I won’t see 231 tomorrow

Will be checking my bank later tonight to see.
Also at first they used to post out receipts but never any more.

Ridiculous state of affairs

Complete lottery whether we get paid or not

I'll be doing the same. I already know it will be wrong. And to think there is people who never worked a day in their life not having to wait and have everything. Makes my blood boil.

I'm expecting nothing...... again.

Are you expecting missing payments tonight or do you get your regular payments overnight anyway?

Just asking as I got payments on Wednesdays, but only received 33 euro this week so should I expect a top up before the weekend?

Thanks, new to all this and can't wait to get back to work now tbh.

Some of us were short 33 last week and only got 165 instead of 198, and those who managed to get through were told the missing 33 will be added to this weeks 198

How much of this is true though is another thing entirely

wonski

Well I was short 165 so similar issue, just the amount that I would rather not be short on a regular basis.

Let's see what happens to yours and hopefully mine will be fixed, too.

Same for me.
Looks like I will have to brave the weather and go to CWO.

It's beyond a joke now at this stage.

Joe Duffy on the job, this

This is disgraceful

A lot of us have enough on our plates to deal with without having to worry about the uncertainty of getting a weekly payment or not

Always Be Closing

Lack of transparency on this is nothing short of f**king scandalous

Been busting my ass for 16 years paying taxes, take a 4 month hiatus due to getting sick and having to chase up like this

Thoughts of queuing in this poxy weather this morning outside the Nat King Cole office with all these brass monkeys

NickD

Another week of no payment. The fact we can't even speak to someone is ridiculous. What are we meant to do, just silently sit here?

NickD

Has anyone got any joy from contacting them on Twitter?
