Hi,Your payment day is actually Monday, the only reason you receive it on a Saturday is because your bank process the payment early because of the weekend. Some banks still do this and some banks stopped it quite some time ago. I bank with Natwest and they stopped it quite a long time ago.Are you sure you're due to receive payment today? Have you recently had a work capability assessment for ESA? or have you received a work capability assessment form (ESA50) recently?

No as I don't have to have one as I'm fully.disabled.and in support group and I'm enhanced rate for both on pip

If you haven't missed a work capability assessment or failed to return a work capability assessment form then there's no reasons for your ESA to stop. Do be aware that it can take an hour for them to answer the phone.
