Hi @shrinkydink, sorry to hear you're missing your payment. Do you have access to your UC journal?

If so, you can log in to check what date your payment should be paid.

If it shows today as your payment date and it hasn't been paid by tomorrow, it may be worth leaving them a message to ask what's going on.

Hope it comes through soon!

I have only had one UC payment so far, but I believe the day of payment can be affected by a bank holiday or the weekend. It might be slightly later.

i never had all this confusion when i was on esa. my first uc was 19th december, then jan 17th so i presume it must of been today. i will ask someone to check my journal. thankyou

i hope they pay it soon because they pay my rent direct also

Your payment date is the 19th.

If your payment date falls on a weekend or bank holiday then UC pay the working day before.

Your payment is due 19th February

You were paid 19th December.

You were paid 17 January - because your payment date fell on a weekend.

You are next due to be paid on:

19th February

19th March

17th April (due to the 19th being a Saturday and the 18th Good Friday a bank holiday) .

thankyou so much. i had no idea it wasnt paid on weekends.

My payment date is a Monday for ESA so I'm used to the concept of it being paid early if there is a bank holiday 😊
