Although it may not be of much comfort, Angel, my mother who is 94 and has lived here for 60 years has had exactly this situation now and again over the years. It always resolved itself and the credit appeared in her bank, so may not be too much to worry about.

Slightly off topic......I recieved a letter this morning from the British Embassy in Madrid, dated November 2020 telling me about Brexit and what I needed to do!!

It's only took 6 months to get here in Benidorm 🤣🤣🤣

Hi,  Can anyone help me? I am now 6 days late receiving my monthly Government pension.   I have telephone numbers for the DWP but they are  not answering, due to COVID.  On their site there was a message service, but this informed me that it could take 10 working days to ...

...answer me.   However, I did fill it in and trust it will not take that long to reply... always living in hope.   

In the time I lived here in Spain this has never happened to me before, and I am completely puzzled and at a loss to understand it.  Also, on what to do.  I just want to speak to someone, like in "the good old days".   I always received my pension every 28 days and always on a Monday.   My last one was on the 26 March, 2021.

Has anyone else experienced this?   Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I basically have to live on my pension.

Hi so sorry to hear of you issue with your pension. This has happened to us in the past but they usually send a letter confirming we still live at the same address in spain with specific number to ring.......I will have a look see if we kept it.

Hi 

This happened to me as I had changed a small detail on my address and the computer wasn't recognizing it and thought I was someone else.

After a phone call it was ok and you can get the number from the government website.

Hope this helps
