My fortnightly ESA is due next week yet today one weeks has been paid into my account. Anyone know why this might be?
Thanks Jan x

I got the same, Jan. No idea why.

Yes. I got it too so phoned the Jobcentre. There was a recorded message saying that lots of people have been paid one weeks benefit in advance and next week, they’ll get the other week that’s due. Followed by the normal payment 2 weeks later. Absolutely no explanation why.
I had been hoping it was an extra weeks payment for being good all of last year!!

Just checked - MeToo.
How odd not sending a letter with an explanation why.
Perhaps ESA has been wrongly paid 2 weeks in arrears or something.
Thank you for replying. One of life’s little problems solved. Now as to why I lean forward when driving up a steep bank… Jan x
It’s a computer glitch. I’ve had the same thing happen as well. On your normal payment date you will receive one weeks money then back to normal in two weeks time.
