Incapacity Benefit Payments

kettle1

I have been trying to find out when I will be paid over the Christmas holidays. I'm normally paid into my bank account on a Thursday and I'm due an incapacity benefit payment on 28/12/06. Does anyone know whether this payment will be in early i.e. 22/12/06?

Thanks

As direct credit is not dependant on the postal service and as the 28th is not a Bank Holiday, you will more than likely receive the monies owed on your due date.

what about me? I am due to be paid on 26/12 will I get mine on the friday before or will it miraculously appear on the sunday like it did at easter

Payments are made on the banking day before a bank holiday so you should receive yours on Friday 22nd.

Some banks process credits differently. Payments normally take 3 days to arrive after they are sent. One of my bank accounts only takes 2 days to process it and my other account allows you to withdraw money on a Saturday if it was due to arrive on the following Monday.

what if you get your benefit paid into a post office account. Can you collect it on the 22nd Dec?

Benefit and pension payments over Christmas

14 December 2007

Over the Christmas holiday period some of our customers may be due to receive their payments on a national public holiday, when most banks are closed. To avoid a delay, those people will receive their payments before Christmas instead.
State Pension (when not combined with Pension Credit), Widow’s Benefit, Incapacity Benefit, Bereavement Benefit, Jobseeker’s Allowance
If you are due to receive your payment between Monday 24 December (Christmas Eve) and Wednesday 26 December (Boxing Day) we will make your payment on Friday 21 December.
Pension Credit on its own, Pension Credit combined with State Pension, Income Support, Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance
If you are due to receive your payment on Tuesday 25 December (Christmas Day) or Wednesday 26 December (Boxing Day) we will make your payment on Monday 24 December (Christmas Eve).
If you are affected by this you will be able to collect your payments in the usual way (for example, from the Post Office or from your bank account) on these days.
All payments due on 1 January will be available on Monday 31 December.
Customers in Scotland who are due to receive payment on 2 January, we will make your payment available on Monday 31 December.

Monday the 28th December is Boxing Day bank holiday.
If you are due to be paid on the 28th you will receive any payments early.

The thread's THREE years old, so then the 28th wouldn't have been a BH.
