Benefit payment dates over New Year?

Trialia

Does anyone know if the payment dates for Income Support over the New Year have varied from the usual at all? My IS was due into my account this morning and it's not there, which means I have £15 to live on until it IS there, and I am on emergency credit on my gas meter already, I was expecting to be able to put more in it today.

Here is the link for day in which you should be paid, according to the chart you should of been paid today, it may be in your account a bit later as this has happened to me before

Thanks for the link. According to that, it should be paid in today... it's normally in my account by midnight, so it's already nearly half a day later than usual, which worries me. I really need more heating...

I can't make phone calls, so I'll have to wait 'til my carer arrives and ask her to ring them. Thanks, both of you.

It can be sometimes delayed because of bank holiday and may be in your account between 12pm to 2pm, yes i would give them a ring when you can to see what is going on. Godd luck
