missing state pension

Well, this has never happened before. My state pension is paid directly into my savings account every Monday, except when there's a bank holiday when it's paid the previous Friday.
Not there today!
I wonder why this is - does it happen often and I've just been lucky up until now, or should I panic and call DWP? Luckily I'm not reliant on it being there dead on time but if I were, I'd be in trouble.

If you don't need the cash, I would not panic until say Friday."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
This happened to me once. Ring now to find out what is happening.
In my case I was told they were reviewing my state pension. It turned out that I had been receiving the wrong amount! A letter did turn up later.
I eventually received my 'reviewed' amount backdated with interest paid (they had apparently made a mistake with my original calculation).0 -
This happened to me once about a year ago. I rang the Pensions Service and told them I wasn't dead! They sorted it out at the speed of light, but I never found out why it happened. Give them a ring..................
....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)0 -
Been out all day and just checked again. It's arrived, so I guess they just had a lie-in this morning!0
