Thanks

(Organised shopping tomorrow night, but money goes into savings account, so need to withdraw it tomorrow).

Fingers crossed.

When mine is due it shows as being available as a balance from the saturday morning (on online banking) and on monday it shows as a payment, but I can draw it on saturday if I need to.

ChirpyGrinch · 20/12/2007 20:06

Thats only the tax credit which goes in monday, my child benefit goes in tuesday as normal.

Theghostofchristmaspyjamas · 20/12/2007 22:50

Child benefit goes in Saturday x

Been told by DLA that it will be in on or before Monday. housing benefit will be in by monday, but income support which is due on Wednesday will be on its usual day.

PersephoneSnowballSnape · 20/12/2007 23:38

Income support due on the 26th will NOT be there on the 26th - it will be monday at the very latest.

i'll find the dwp linky thing. hold on...

PersephoneSnowballSnape · 20/12/2007 23:44

there you go!

i work for dwp and have just finished up for xmas. I've heard of NO problems with payments (although i do have to say that the advance payments for Jobseekers Allowance have to be manually input, but that should have already been received.

offices are open tomorrow & on xmas eve until mid afternoon (although post offices do shut at 12.30 in general) reopening on the 27th in scotland & 28th in England and Wales. - closed again on new years day in england and wales and on 2nd january also in scotland.

If the truly awful happens, and youare without £ for whatever reason your local police station will have the telephone number of an 'out-of'hours-service' who should have access to petty cash.

hope that helps.

Hi sorry but can someone just reassure me about my money if they know.

I normally get my Income Support paid in on a Saturday and although my CB is due on Mondays it goes in on a Saturday. Well have just checked my bank and my CB has gone in but not my Income support. Will it go in tommorow as normal ?? If it doesn't I am gonna have a huge problem.

Got incapacity today (usually paid mondays)

Child benefit and tax credits are usually tuesdays, but not hit today as I thought it would, so assume it will go in tomorrow or monday at the latest.

Housing benefit also due on monday, but not sure when that will go in.

As long as all payments have caught up by 1st, im ok....

nutcracker · 21/12/2007 18:33

Well fingers crossed my IS will go in tommorow as normal else we will have no food for xmas, as I was using that and my CB money combined.

I think my tax credits go in on Monday instead of wednesday.

4sonsmum · 21/12/2007 21:57

According to the Post Office - Benefit due on Monday will be paid on Monday - Benefit due oaid on Tues or Wed will be paid on Monday - assume that is just PO accounts,not banks

DavidTennantsMistress · 21/12/2007 21:59

I rang them today and TCs are monday as normal (can draw it tomorrow) and CB is on monday instead of tues. then the following weeks will be paid on the 28th. so will be ok.

nutcracker · 22/12/2007 09:07

It's ok, mine all went in today, so the food shop is saved LOL.

ChristmasSendsMePsycho · 22/12/2007 10:12

checked my account and all my money due next week went in yesterday.

was hoping the CB would go in early so as to cover emergency's this weekend like a forgotten turkey!!!!!
