    I'm due my Tax credit on 24th and Child benefit on 25th none of which have been paid in today. So think it will be in Monday's payment run on Saturday (As i'm with Natwest) Stupid really i think they should pay all benefit and Hmrc payment's on the same day as everyone's getting muddled up to as and when they are due payment x

    you should get both of these payed on monday ( it should show in your bank on sat if ur with natwest tho)

    I signed in yesterday as well the 20th. I had no money in my account. I called job centre and was told by a girl that I will have money on Monday 24th as it was processed on the 19th n the three days bla bla making it Monday. I dont know I'f it has anything to do with your bank. But mine is natwest. I dnt think the girl would lie But i would really be upset if I still had no money on Monday. Good luck to both of us.

    we signed the same day as you and we had payment clear today, as you hae nawest it should be there by tomorrow i would have thought so hopefully it will clear monday for you.

    pretty sure it will be 27th, should neer really listen to the jobcenter staff half teh time they get missinformed.. altho they could just use teh same methods as me to find out the right info for u, but i guess most dont care enough :(

    most will get payments before new year unless they aint due till 2nd :)

    Yh the website says tht but its the job centre they at not reliable. Quite a few people on here where ment to get paid on the 21 But that was not the case. If you read the posts you would have seen tht.
  • Hi I'm due to sign on christmas day and I receive giro cheques usually they arrive three days after signing so presume that will be 28th basically what I'm asking is does jobcentre still send giro cheques out at xmas on time and will I recive it on 28th ?
  • As most payment are made by bacs take a look at this:

    w w w . b a c s . c o . u . k

    /Bacs/SiteCollectionDocuments/Bacs_processing_calendar_2012.pdf

    Add that to the URL

    It shows at the bottom Christmas payments

    If you are to be paid Christmas eve it says it needs to be processed 21st.

    My slip says ill get paid early on the 21st but that PDF says payments need to be submitted on the 20th so Im not sure is people will get payed Christmas eve or not...

    Hopefully the benefits people know this and have submitted it the 20th so the payment is processed the 21st and we get it on the 24th!

    fingers crossed!
  • Hi i hav the same sign dat as u jus wundered if u recieved any pay yet😄
  • My sign on date is the 25th decenber 2012 i am being tond that it will be clear to withdraw on monday but i wS also told the 21st i know that cant issue the payment on my sign on day as they usually wood as its xmas day so when will i recieve my monet the 24 or the 27
  • I think as most people are being told the payment will go out on the 21st there is a good chance we will all be paid on the 24th, they must know this which is why they have choose that date for everyone...
