    Saturday isn't a payment date which DWP or HMRC use. You will only receive your money on a Saturday because your bank release the funds early and your payment date would be a Monday.

    However, because Yesterday and Monday are both bank holidays you should have received your money on Thursday so please check your bank incase you missed the payment on that day. If it's not there then you will need to contact them both on Tuesday when they open.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Payment dates are odd this weekend.  I should get housing benefit on bank holiday Monday, but got it on Thursday this week, which I was expecting.

    However I usually get ESA on a Tuesday, so didn't expect any change there.  Yet it was paid yesterday, bank holiday Friday!  Very strange.  :o
