  • Yes it's correct they don't do counter payments any more, the same thing happened to me 6 times in a row and each time I had to phone and was told the money would be put in my account via faster payment by 4pm and every time it's gone in by 1pm so keep checking your account.

    If its not in by 4 then ring them again

    This happened to me once, the jobcentre forgot to process it. The benefits office will make payment into your bank after 4 hours, but a payment was in my bank with an hour.

    It happened to me twice and on both occasions I got a call back to say it would be in my bank by 5 o'clock. And it was. :)

    Hi, they will make a FEP (faster electronic payment) at your local JCP. Once processed it takes an roughly an hour to hit your bank account.
