Hardship payments

Hi everyone just looking for advice as I can't ring the office now till Monday as they are shut,

I signed on, on Tuesday this week I normally get paid Friday then, I had my job seekers stopped, and applied for hardship payments on the 20th I had a letter on the 21st saying I had been accepted for for the reduced job seekers allowance does anyone know when this will be paid? Nothing has gone in today.

Thank you

    Perhaps try Tuesday?
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.

    Check your account in the morning as it might credit overnight, otherwise it won't be until at least Tuesday (bank holiday on monday...). Local foodbanks can help if you are destitute
  • Yeah I will do, just thought I would ask on here if any knew roughly how long it takes them to pay
