ESA payment late this week....

Options
Just wondered if anyone else has had a problem with their ESA payment this week.

It was credited to the bank account today instead of Monday and it was called JSA instead of ESA:(

The amount was correct though.

Should I contact them, or do you think it is just a blip?

    Would they change your benefits without even notifying you?

    My OH has numerous health issues and is unlikely to improve, which they are well aware of.

    ESA use the Jsa payment system so the payment did not go out in time which has been picked up and a faster payment issued ( same day).
