Changed from Rep Payee to Direct Payments. Received 2 letters. One says benefit is drastically lower. Other says the amount it's always been. Both dated the same.

So I requested to receive direct payments and remove representative payee last month.

I just received 2 letters stating that I will receive direct payments.

One of the letters says my benefit amount changed to something drastically lower like in the $300 range. It also says they cannot pay benefits at this time. This is bad.

But the other letter, dated the same day, from a different address, says that I will receive direct payments and my benefit amount remains what it is right now. This is good.

I looked online at my SSA account and clicked to see Benefit Verification letter and it shows the same amounts it's always been. This is good.

So what letter do I go by? Should I be worried that my benefits have been cut drastically from the first letter? Or are my benefits still the same as it states in the second letter?

Please help
