Time of Universal Credit payments?

boba_fett2

Does anyone know what time universal Credit is paid into your account? I am due my first payment today but not received it yet. Is this normal?

Thanks
Boba

Most payments from anywhere would be credited at midnight if not before, I would suggest a quick call to UC to check the payment has actually been issued

Usually 2am on designated day depending on your Bank.
Agree with sammyjammy, ring them up.

I'm still waiting for my payment from the 27th.... ���� they haven't got a clue what they are doing.

I had this problem, got on the phone and erupted.
In the end, to calm me down, they processed an express payment into my account and it went in within 2 hours but I had to fight my corner for it.
It's something you have to do sometimes.

I've been on the phone 3 times already today, going to give it until 4pm then I'm going to lose my patience with them, it's a nightmare. I'll be livid if I get left all over bank holiday with no payment.

You certainly have my sympathy with this and especially with it being a Bank Holiday weekend. What makes matters worse is when you have the designated payment date in black and white on your award notice and it doesn't go in on that day.
Keep at them, if you were supposed to get it in your account today, ask them for an express payment.
