in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA

Hi , hope you guys can advise

I received the text saying i have been awarded PIP on Friday 20th Dec, then a couple of days later they rang the landline (i live with my parents) and the lady wanted to speak to a parent to check if it's ok for me to receive the lump sum backpay. They agreed that it's fine and the lady said thank you, no problem we will process the payment. It's now the 27th and I haven't had anything yet. I know christmas will have delayed things but my anxiety is through the roof, it's got me thinking have i give them the right bank details. I was expecting it today, I didn't sleep last night constantly checking my account on my phone to see if it had gone into my account.

Now im thinking/hoping monday, or could it go in tomorrow? when do you guys think?

I don't want another sleepless night tonight if i know i have no chance of receiving it tomorrow, but i could really do with it!

thanks in advance

    It will depend when payment was actually sent. A BACS payment takes 3-5 working days to go into your bank. Weekends are not payment days for DWP as it's Mon to Friday only.

    The only time you would receive it tomorrow is if your bank allows early access on Saturdays and not all bank do that now.
