At one time it was Mondays - whether this is still universal I don't know.0

Last time I looked (advance planning...) it started the first Monday after your 60/65th birthday - in advance apart from the few days between birthday and monday.0

I had one payment that came in on last wed, exactly on my 60th birthday. I just thought that was odd because I was told it started the monday after the birthday. I havent had anything today though..0

are you sure it was SP, were you on any other benefits prior to that? has your claim for SP defintely gone through?
You would be best to contact the Pension Service, but SP if paid weekly is normally a Monday payday0 -
Its is Monday, but Bank Holidays are different, eg ive got mine today for next Monday. Its always earlier, not later.0

ok that makes sense Roddy, because mine went in again today. I had always thought it was monday too, so it must be different because of xmas/new year. TY everybody .0

Errr, if Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day falls on a weekend then the following Monday is treated as a Bank Holiday.
This happened last week, when Boxing Day fell on Saturday. Monday was treated as the Bank Holiday, so all payments went out beforehand.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.
