Esa payment dates help

If my friend is paid her ESA on the 7th of July, can anyone tell me what period that fortnightly payment would be for please. 

I understand its paid in arrears but is this usually a payment of 2 weeks arrears paid 1 week later?

I think this could be payment for 16th to 22nd June and 23rd June to 29th - anyone have any idea if this is correct.

Thank you in advance to anyone who knows and can reply.

    It's paid fortnightly in arrears and covers a period up to the date of payment.
    If the payday is the Wed 7th it means the last two digits of the NI number are 40-59 and the payment wil be for Thursday 24 June to Wed 7 July.

    Every day's a school day on here!  I'm guessing I get paid on a Monday because the final two digits of my NINo are within the 00-19 range?

    That is brilliant thank you for your help, very much appreciated. That's good news for her that it's paid for the previous 2 weeks I wasn't sure if there was a delay. I will let her know thank you.
