Is anyone else receiving their benefit payments early?

Hi all, hope everyone's ok today. I usually receive my DLA/ESA payments on a Monday but for the past few weeks I've been checking my bank accounts two or three times each week and I've now noticed that even though my "pay day" is a Monday, the money is always in my account the Thursday or Friday of the previous week!? is this a new thing or is it just my bank? I've never had this before and I'd just like to know if it's common or a little unusual. I've been with the same bank all my life and nothing like this has ever happened before.

Many thanks :) xxx
