Hi Gordon,

Happy New Year to you and everyone else on here.

Just to say an ESA payment went into my account today. Now my ESA is due next Thursday, not today. The amount is exactly half what they usually pay me in other words, 1 week of my ESA. Now is this possibly a mix up or should I receive another payment next week for 1 week..

Sorry if it's confusing but not sure whether to ring them or not.

There has been a glitch in the ESA payment system, I know it is affecting Northern Ireland but I haven't seen an announcement for the UK mainland, apparently, the fortnightly payment has been paid as one week early and the second week will be paid on the normal date.

Thanks, Gordon,

Will check my account next week to see if it balances.
