How run on works

bennyben

I applied for UC on Fri 10th Jan, I received ESA on Wednesday 15th. Does anyone know how the run on payment works and for how many days I will receive. Will I get this on my typical pay day or will it be early.

Im confused how this works.

It does seem to vary, some get a full payment on their normal date, others like me got an early payment which wasn't a full two weeks worth.

Ive been told the run on starts from the day you claim, so because I claimed on the 10th and got paid on the 15th, I should get 9 days of run on but who knows. Yeah, I noticed some people that claimed on the same day as me and got ESA a few days later than me have already received a run on payment...it's massively confusing because i have no idea if and when I'll receive anything and I don't want an advance as I don't want the debt.

I got my migration notice and I just claimed straight away, I didn't see any point in waiting. I just wanted it over and done with.
