It will go through Monday, as they don't credit payments on Weekend days. This is based on it being a faster payment, as you have stated.
The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0 -

They are working everyday at the moment, with many staff drafted in to help from elsewhere within Civil Service. So they may have forgotten it was a Saturday when telling you what they did.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums.

I applied for universal credit and have been awaiting my statement to see how much I was entitled to, I applied for an advance as it said I could and I’ve received that payment.However my statement has now come through and says I’m entitled to £0. How can the give me an advance if I’m not entitled to anything?Any help would be appreciated0

The advance is calculated on your maximum entitlement. If you have now received some earnings within the assessment period that may have cancelled out your entitlement for this month. Did you receive a payment from your employer after you made the claim? What does your statement show?Blooby123 said:I applied for universal credit and have been awaiting my statement to see how much I was entitled to, I applied for an advance as it said I could and I’ve received that payment.However my statement has now come through and says I’m entitled to £0.
