ESA...Late payment again

Ok to cut a long story short I usually get paid every two weeks on a Thursday. Now my last payment was a week late for some reason. I had a look on my statement and it says FP which I assume means fast payment and the date it was issued...usually it just shows my national insurance number and DWP...so back to the question...it's Thursday again and this weeks payment isn't showing either so just wondering if this is likely to be a problem with my bank or the DWP only I'm starting to get slightly annoyed now. Also just to mention I have recently been transferred from Incapacity benefit to ESA so did wonder if that could be the problem but this is the second time this has happened...

  • This is just guessing, but have you confirmed that the ESA payment periods remained the same as your old IB?

    How much do you get paid fortnightly?

    The first IBR transfer pymt is frequently late but then it should be like clockwork (depending on your answer to previous question).
