    ESA is paid every fortnight and everyone is paid on different days. Maybe your freinds ESA was due on the 19th? What date did they receive their previous payment?


    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    He usually gets it every two weeks on a Thursday which would be this Thursday but he got it on Monday instead it’s probably due to Christmas he was just panicking I think

    Then i have no idea why he received it yesterday. Christmas early payment dates haven't started yet. You can see them here. https://www.gov.uk/how-to-have-your-benefits-paid
    He will need to ring ESA if he wants to know why he received payment yesterday.
