Money not paid today :(

I usually get my income support every Friday, but just checked my bank and no payment today, so now I'm overdrawn :(
Think it's because my daughter is 16 on Thursday but she will still be in full time education as she is going onto college.
Does anyone know what will happen to my money now?? I've bills going out this week and now no money, really panicking!!!! :cry:

    Do you have a younger child or does one of them have a disability?

    If you're claiming IS as a lone parent you shouldn't be getting it with children this age but you would have been moved onto JSA some time ago.

    Or are you disabled yourself or a carer for someone?
