Your PIP this month was paid early because of Christmas. Your next payment will be 4 weeks from the date it should have been paid. (27th) This means your next payment will be 24th January.

It will on your normal pay day which is four weeks from 27th December, so 24th January.

Oh 1 more thing if I'm on PIP can I still apply for job seekers allowance ?? I'm looking to get back to work it shouldn't affects my pip right??

The only JSA you can claim is New style JSA but you will need to have paid the correct amount of NI contributions in the previous 2 tax years. It won't affect your PIP.

If you haven't paid the correct amount of NI contributions then you can look at claiming Universal Credit, it's means tested so entitlement will depend on your circumstances. If you live with a partner you claim as a couple and your joint circumstances will be taken into consideration. If you have savings/capital of more than £16,000 you're excluded from claiming.

Use a benefits calculator to check entitlement. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/Intro/Home?cid=c49a6857-9003-44d8-8793-e04bb3ce045b

You can only claim new style JSA if you meet the NI contribution requirements

I can't get UC some job centre mess up so we claim 3 years of UC that we weren't entitled to they want whole money back... Sad anyway cause my wife didn't tell me she had over £16,000 it wasn't my fault she doesn't share financial information with me so... Then pip saved me as I applied before they stop UC somewhere in August Im hoping if anyone can help what other money I can get apart from Job seeker and UC the money from pip I have to use for bills and food and spend some for kids they aren't enough to cover myself so lol.. any other information I should know about while on pip etc

I saw that from your previous thread. It isn’t a UC mess up, they have applied the rules. When you applied for UC your wife would also have had to apply too and it was her failure to declare her capital that caused the problem.

While your wife and you are expected to support each other according to your joint circumstances.

There is nothing else you can be paid while your wife has more than £16,000.

One thing to note is that at the moment you are not getting any NI credits towards to your future State Pension. You can check your future pension 

https://www.gov.uk/future-pension-centre
That will tell you how many years of NI credits or contributions to get a maximum entitlement.

If you have a health condition that limits your ability to work you can apply for new style ESA.you can’t be paid anything because you will not meet the NI conditions but if you are found to have limited capability for work you will get Class 1 NI credits.

Did your wife’s Carer’s Allowance claim come through?

There are no other benefits possible to claim.

Typo, this should be "you are not" getting NI credits.
