Hi, my name is Mayday! Late ESA payment

Mayday

My esa payment is late and I was wondering if anyone else has ever had a late payment and does it sort itself out or will I need to contact them .Many thanks

It’s been reported several times recently on here. The best thing to do is call this morning, anything else would just be pure speculation.

Hi @Mayday - & welcome to the community. Another member reported a late payment yesterday with their ESA. Have you managed to ring them as Mark has suggested?

@Mayday Hello and welcome to our community.  Unfortunately, you aren't alone in experiencing this and we'd recommend contacting ESA directly so see what's happened.

This government webpage gives the following contact details on how to do this :

...  Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

Telephone: 0800 169 0310
Textphone: 0800 169 0314
Relay UK (if you cannot hear or speak on the phone): 18001 then 0800 169 0310
Video relay service for JSA, ESA and other benefits for British Sign Language (BSL) users - check you can use the service
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm
Find out about call charges

In the mean-time, I've moved your post to our ESA category so it's in a spot where others with a similar query can better see it.  Please let us know how you get on and good luck.
