What time do same day payments get paid?

I didn’t get my payment as I missed my first face to face sign on day for jsa last week as I didn’t get the letter, 

rang up at 8am and they called back at 8.30am to tell me it’s fine I don’t come in just have to go in for my next appointment and they have sent me a same day payment 

What time do they usually get credited to a bank?

    It can be anytime as the banking system can take a couple of hours to process the payment even after the DWP have authorised it. In my (albeit limited experience), it can be anytime from 10.00 am to 2:30 pm

    Typically payment will be in your account within a couple of hours although team leaders have/had 3 hours to authorise same day payments.  'Same day' though does cover any time up to midnight.  All you can do is check every few hours.  There is no point calling DWP again to chase it.
