Benefits are usually paid straight into your bank, building society or credit union account.
If your payment date is on a weekend or a bank holiday you’ll usually be paid on the working day before. How and when you are paid may vary for different types of benefits and support.
Backdating payments
If you are of 'pensionable age' we can go back three months from your date of claim. We should do this automatically but we may need to ask you for earlier income or savings details.
If you are 'working age' - and there is a reason why you were unable to apply for your benefit earlier, you can ask for backdated benefits.
