Benefit over holiday date missing - anyone else in same boat

apple85

Hi

i was due to be paid housing, dla, and esa all on the 4th jan though read all payments due on that date will get paid today

ive had the housing and dla through but no sign of the esa

im now worried that my esa has been stopped and/or a esa50 form got lost in post and the 4 weeks to fill that in has been lapsed 

has anyone else who had an esa payment brought forward due to the holidays had a delay in esa turning up in their bank or am I looking at the worst here?

HI,

In this link here it says that "some" benefits will be paid earlier (31st December) with DLA being one of them. ESA will be paid as normal on 4th January. https://www.gov.uk/how-to-have-your-benefits-paid

You’re a godsent if right

i was reading this

getting the other 2 today has thrown me - guess it’s squeaky bum time till Monday morning

after the year we’ve had it feels appropriate to end the year with panic attacks!

Hi and welcome fingers crossed your payment will be made on Monday I wouldn't think there would be a problem
