I was meant to receive a bitcoin payment of 0.0005 BTC, i had no access to my wallet at the moment to generate a new address so I used an address that I used to receive transaction months ago. The transaction was sent and was visible in the blockchain but did not get into my wallet. Below is the transaction detail

Double check if the address is correct, if its is then the problem lies in your wallet's side. Mind telling us which wallet did you use?
And from what I know, Bitcoin addresses don't expire so rest assured that as long as you hold that address' private key you can access your funds.
P.S. Nothing on this post is related on the topics discussed here in Legal sub-board. This should be moved on
Technical Support or your wallet's board (If any)
The address was generated from my blockchain wallet and that is why I am most concerned because its unusual and the first time it ever happened.
