    It depends when the money was paid, it takes 3-5 working days so as you were advised, you should receive it by the end of the week. If you want to know exactly when yo expect it then you can ring the department that owes you the money and ask them.
    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.
