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?

lyn44

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

There's lot of people that are fully disabled, in the Support Group and also receive PIP but that doesn't exclude them from future re-assessments for ESA.

DWP open tomorrow morning at 8 am if you haven't received payment tomorrow then you'll need to ring them to ask why. 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.
