apparently when my OH signed they didnt authorise it on the computer for him, they did it for me but not for him0 -
Oh I see. So they have to say you were there and did sign on before any payment is made?

we wont get separate payments, will come as one
yeah they still do giros for emergencies, going in the bank would be no good as we need it tomorrow and it will take 3 working days to clear in the bank0 -

It doesnt take three days - the DWP just like anyone else can send it as a faster payment and it will be there the same day if sent before 3pm.
It is not issued on Friday, its authorised for payment with the next banking run on Friday, thats where the issue occured this week.Free/impartial debt advice: Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) | National Debtline | Find your local CAB0 -
