Non payment of ESA today

clarryd

Has anyone else not received their ESA payment in their bank account this morning. Not sure if it’s just a glitch as yesterday was an unplanned Bank Holiday or the bank (Nationwide) has a problem  with payments.

Just incase someone thinks I have had my benefit stopped it definitely isn’t that.

I will phone the DWP at 8am to see what the problem is, just thought I would ask on here if anyone else has the same issues.

Yes. Me too. I have been claiming ESA for a long while and it always lands in my bank account (HSBC), every other Tuesday without fail. 

My bank shows me any ‘pending’ deposits the day before and so I can see it’s not coming tomorrow, either.

I so glad it’s not just me, I haven’t got it pending either so not sure what’s going on. 

Thank you for replying.

mind you i need mine in by 2pm because otherwise have to cancel direct debits or face bank charges when stuff bounces (Natwest)

Your payments should arrive at some point today.

The DWP tweeted on Friday that people who are due to receive payments on Tuesday or Wednesday "will be paid throughout the day of their expected payment date". This suggests to me that the Bank Holiday may have disrupted how benefits are credited to accounts beyond Monday. It also suggests that payments may be made via the Faster Payments system rather than BACS and so will be credited to bank accounts during DWP office hours
