Dole Payment Query

slappywags

Hi,
I am currently doing a WPP.

As of 3 weeks ago i started receiving my Jobseekers allowance money into my bank account.

On week 1 i received my payment of 188 on Tuesday, which is the day i usually que in the post office.

On week 2 i didn't receive any money on Tuesday so i went to my local dole office to query this and was told all dole payments that are paid into bank accounts are paid on Thursdays. Fair enough, but that meant i went 2 days with out money.
So i checked my account on Thursday i saw that 188 was in my account.
My Question is should i not have received 250.66 ?
Payment for Tuesday and Wednesday?
Does that make sense?

am i correct in thinking this?
am i miscalculating?
i don't wanna go into the dole office again and query this if im wrong as it means taking a couple of hours off my WPP job

You are getting paid for the same weekly period, its just you are receiving the money on a different day.
Bank payments are paid on Thursday, JSA into Post Office on Tuesday.
