    It varies a lot - they are very busy at the moment. It's worth chasing it up.

    I registered on the 12th Jan - had first interview on 16th Jan. Had to then sign on 20th Jan and asked them there and then. They said it was all set up on screen and could tell me how much. Got first payment Friday 23rd Jan, but they do not pay for the first three days of your claim. They also take 3 days to put your money through which is not counted in that payment. SO only received 6 days after the first fortnight. So hoping next Friday I will get 2 weeks payment.
