Can i change payments days on my benefits?

missal

Hi,

Just wanted to ask a quick question.

I am setting up a new budget and i receive a few different types of benefits (my payment days are tuesday and saturday - although the saturday is meant to be monday but for some reason i get it into my account sat??)

I just wondered if i was able to request that i am paid everything on a tuesday? (my saturday payments are income support, carers allowance and child benefit)

Thanks
Amanda

i don't think you can with out having to re do all the claims
also carers is always mondays but some banks will let you have it saturday

It'd be far easier to just not touch it until a Tuesday than go through possible reclaiming

aww that's so hard for me though although would be the best thing, at the minute by the time sat comes around i am desperately in need of my money!

In saying that i am allocating some of my money to spend generally so i could just make that stretch for a week, i think that'll have to be the way!

Thanks
Amanda

Sounds like me, I am with nat west and my money goes in on Saturday and child tax on wed.

What I do is draw it all out on a wed.. so the Saturday payments are already in when I withdraw my weeks money.
