    You used to be able to tell from the DWP site when they paid out and for what areas but that has not been on the site for a few years now.

    I actually came here to ask if anyone knew of anywhere that they do give the details of what areas have had payments. A couple weeks ago it was zero or below for over a week but I've not had a payment and thought I might have got one.
  • I got mine thursday the 18th in south wales and a friend received theirs today same area, mine was paid into account whilst although my friend has a post office account their payment was sent via girocheque.

    how do we know if our region will get them? We are north west (Blackpool)

    It would come in handy - is everyone eligible?
