    The date HMR&C say the payment is issued isn't the same day it's posted out. It's usually at least a week following that date, it could be 3. Your bank also may not process it straight away.

    As it's less than 2 weeks from HMR&C's payment date it's highly unlikely it would have appeared on your bank account yet. You need to allow it at least 4 weeks from HMR&C's date unless you're aware of a reason why it wouldn't have been received, like you'd given them the wrong bank details. If this is the case contact them straight away and get them to issue another cheque. Otherwise you'll just have to wait as this process will take at least 6 weeks.

    Kerry97's 04-09-2012 post said the calculation turned up last Saturday, which allowing for printing and posting etc would have been 5 - 6 working days after the 'issue' date. Based on that, we're probably around the 10 working days/14 normal days mark about now.
