Maybe they are waiting for day 7 to finish before they update it.
Seems to me the latter date shown, is basically the last time somebody logged in and updated the records for your area. If a payment is paid out, that might get updated straight away on the system, but I wouldn't be surprised if money is paid into bank accounts before that page is updated0 -

This year you will get £25 when the average temperature where you live is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees Celsius or below over seven consecutive days during the period from 1 November to 31 March. Specified Meteorological Office weather stations are used to obtain this information.
