DLA due 2nd help pls

Hi, my DLA is due on the 2nd . . . I know that's not a bank holiday (i'm in England) but i'm wondering if anyone knows if it'll go in tomorrow or on 2nd?
I bank with Barclay's, have called them & explained my ESA is always due Mondays (so Xmas), hits my bank the Saturday before but went in on 22nd, even tho the bank is open on Saturday, so would the DLA be early too?
He said it doesn't matter that staff are off as the computers do the payment processing, so it'll be Tuesday (other benefits eg tax credits are in tomorrow if due on Tues) but if that's right, why would those due 1st be early (if computers do it all)?.
I guess I will find out at midnight, but it's so confusing when they put my ESA in early even with the bank being open, it seems a bank holiday does somehow delay payments so they are early to be sure
I've always had DLA on Tuesdays & it has hit my account early before, but not sure if that was when the bank hol fell on weekend

Payment will be normal. If your bank processes it early then it will be Saturday.UKTigerlily wrote: »Hi, my DLA is due on the 2nd . . . I know that's not a bank holiday (i'm in England) but i'm wondering if anyone knows if it'll go in tomorrow or on 2nd?

Your payment for the 2nd will be paid on time. If it hits your account early that is because of the way your bank processes it, nothing to do with DWP.
Payment due on a Bank Holiday Monday will be paid by DWP on the previous Friday as DWP does not have Saturday processing. Again, banks may show it in your account earlier but that is down to how they process. DWP systems allow 3 days for clearance so, if the receiving bank takes less time than that, the money may show in your account earlier.
The safest way to work is to assume that the money won't hit your account until the actual due date.0 -
Thanks both x0

Worth knowing some banks are changing the way (timing) they process payments as well, Natwest is at some point in January0

Yes Natwest will only be processing payments this way up until 13th January 2018. After this date payments going in and DD's will be paid on the day they should be paid.Worth knowing some banks are changing the way (timing) they process payments as well, Natwest is at some point in January0 -

Hi Everyone
Did'nt want to create a new thread when there's already one open for these sort of queries
Our DLA is due on Wednesday 3rd and we also get Tax Credits on Wednesdays.
The Tax Credits went into the bank on the 30th December so i assumed the DLA would also?
The wife seems to think that The DLA will go in tomorrow but i'm not too sure.
We bank with Barclays
Many thanks for any help.0 -
Your DLA will be paid as normal on Wednesday. There's no reason for it to be paid tomorrow. Everything will be back to normal from tomorrow in England and Wales.Hi Everyone

HMRC were paying payments due on 3rd January 1 day early. If you had your payment before tomorrow then it's because your bank processed it early.0
