Same for me. Just been into my Barclays online banking and saw one weeks JSA has been paid in today. This is quite odd. I've checked the small leaflet I got from the Job Centre about not having to sign at Christmas and nothing is mentioned about an early payment.. just that my next signing is the 8th.
I would advise giving them a ring or popping down to the Job Centre to find out what is going on. I'll be doing it myself in the morning.0 -
Probably due to the bank holidays and stuff rather than anything actually changing circumstance wise.0

Exact same as Flibblesan one week JSA pd in not due to sign on until Tues 8th as last sign on date was 11th Dec and excused until 8th. Wont touch it until checked DWP.0

Somebody on another thread rang them on the 2nd and they were told that one or more employees had altered many people records to weekly payments somehow. So many in fact that it may have to stay that way for the time being. and it did not just affect JSA but all other benefits as well. So while it is technically an error, I do not think you've been overpaid, but wise to check with JC when you sign on I think.0

Same here with an extra payment when I'm due to sign on Tuesday. Is it only effecting those who sign on on that day?There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.0

i was actually a little worried receiving my Disabilty Allowance today well half of it considering how much i have been messed about by them the last 6 months so i am happy to see i am not alone with this payment.0

I phoned DWP this morning and was told that there had been a computer error and that it was affecting those who sign on Tuesdays and get paid Fridays. I have been paid one weeks JSA today ( sign on 8th Jan- Tues) and will receive one weeks JSA next week.
After that will revert back to the normal 2 week payment.0 -
