Strange ESA payment - JSA

Zipz

I claim contribution-based ESA and receive £281.10 every two weeks. I am not eligible for UC or anything means-tested.

I am in the Support Group and have a lifelong progressive condition.

I've just looked at my bank account. ESA has been paid at £261.03. I have been paid £20.07 JSA. I am not a Jobseeker and never shall be. What has happened?

EDIT: I phoned DWP and found that this is a "one-off" system blip that has and is affecting what appears on bank statements this week.

JSA is used as a reference when a manual payment needs to be done, for whatever reasons.

In your case the blip meant you only received 13 days ESA.

That's good to know @Zipz. Sorry it was a bit confusing for you but I'm glad it was just a blip.
