    Hi and welcome to the community 

    Feel free to join in or ask any questions 

    Have you called to find out why you haven't been paid 

    We don't know some members do report late payments

    Hi @Simplecrater

    Ah, I'm sorry to hear you didn't get your payment when expected, are you managing okay?  As @janer1967 recommended, you're best off speaking with the relevant department directly to ascertain exactly what's happened.  If you're receiving New Style ESA, you need to call Universal Credit.  Otherwise, call the Job Centre Plus.

    I've amended your thread title to include your query and moved it to our ESA category - If you could keep us updated with how you get on that would be great and please ask away with anything else that we might be able to help with.
