Hey guys ive been on esa and pip for ages. My mandatory reconsideration with pip was updated in my favour last week. However ive not received my normal esa payment today. Do you guys have any idea why?

Benefits are not paid on Saturdays, if you receive them then it's because your bank has allowed early access to them.

Very often PIP being awarded or refused can suspend other benefits such as ESA because the system has detected a change. If you don't receive the payment on Monday you'll need to ring them, they can do a same day fast payment.

Yes, that's because they allow early access. Your payment day is actually Monday's. It will very likely be due to the change with your recent PIP award, it happens a lot and nothing to worry about.
