Hi I get ESA (support group) and my payment’s have always gone in at midnight. My child tax was early, but my ESA payment was due in to my bank between 12-2am and it’s not there. The money I did have has been taken to pay bills and I don’t have a penny. I don’t know what to do as I have read people whose are stopped without warning sometimes end up arguing with dwp for months. I am panicking can anyone help? My payment date was today (12am) totally stressed out and I can’t go to job centre as I am in too much pain to walk.

    All payments today and tomorrow will go in the bank later in the afternoon. It caused by the sudden bank holiday. Nothing to panic about. DWP have left Twitter messages about it. I suspect their will be lots of posts about missing payments today.

    Welcome to the community @laylarose :) 

    It looks like we've had many people post with the same concern. Has your payment now come through?
