Early DLA payment?
Hello. I get paid my DLA weekly and my payment day is a Wednesday so my next payment day would be 2nd January. However, I've just checked my bank account and my DLA has gone in today but surely the 2nd January isn't a bank holiday so the payment should go in then as normal? Has this happened to anyone else? :o
