    Hi Paulo

    There could be many reasons why this has happened. You need to contact the DWP on 0345 608 8545 to find out why.

    I don't know if the Bank Holiday last Monday could had messed up the system , also some banks do have problems - glitches , etc where their system is down over night - i have seen that when i have gone to get money out of cash point - warning sign comes up to say that work is being carried out , might be worth checking your account again next 2 days then if still no joy on Monday ring DWP like Anthony suggests . Hope it is just a minor problem and you receive your benefit okay .

    As far as I am aware you can't get paid on saturdays because the banks don't update thier systems in the morning. Wait until monday before calling the DWP.
