in Universal Credit (UC)

In every aspect of life routine is super important to me which includes when i receive my benefit payments. Before migrating to UC my ESA was paid shortly after midnight on the same day every fortnight as was my monthly PIP. Since being forced over to UC both of my UC payments have been paid early. 1st payment 3 days early and my latest payment 2 days early. In fact my latest payment hit my bank account yesterday (Saturday) and i always thought benefit payments went into bank A/C's Monday to Friday.

I don't like monthly UC payment because i was very used to fortnightly payment dates with ESA and i definitely don't like UC being paid outside of their stated payment dates.

    @MrHappy Just a thought, maybe don't check your bank account until the day you think it should be in there.? Then it won't distress you. Just ignore until alloted time. I dunno,may not help but its all I can think of.

    If it's clearing on the Saturday but due Monday that's more to do with your bank than with UC, the 2 payments APA on UC is a pain though as the second payment doesn't have a set date, it must make it a bit harder to budget
