Thank you for you reply.  I was Thinking that perhaps people on ESA or income support were being paid first but it seems that isn’t the case.

Fingers crossed I receive my payment soon. Thanks again 🙂

My claim is esa /income support it's a joint claim my husband gets esa and I get a bit of income support as i get carers allowance.

Thanks Kim. 

It does seem that the majority of todays payments were made to ESA or Income Support claimants rather UC.

No sign of mine, but it can come up to 31st July, and I am with Santander.    ESA Income Based Legacy.

I did get a text message yesterday, supposedly from the DWP with a link asking me to check if I was in line to get it

I deleted and did not follow the link as I considered it a scam.

I did the same, but when I got the second text I typed it into my pc browser and It was ok.

I find it best to never trust unsolicited text messages or calls.

Assume everyone is trying to scam you. Every landline call i get is a scammer.
