How long until i'm paid working tax credits

I've come off ESA and start my new job today, i was just wondering how long it will be before i receive my working tax credits? (I called them today and did it over the phone as i have a CTC claim already)

Edit: The woman also said i may receive a one off payment, do you know when that would come through too?

Thank you x

    3 working days minimum.

    It's impossible to know exactly when you'll get it.

    Thank you for your reply. I wish there was a more accurate time scale lol, however she did say don't call before the 22nd so i'm hoping it's sorted around that time mark. If anything, i'm just happy to be off benefits :j. 4 years of being ill takes it toll!

    If that's the date given to you then that will be their current timescale. So you should expect it by then and if not then tell them.
