Collection query

yomamma

I collect my dole on a friday. My signing on day is always a friday. I was told by someone that you can collect it anytime during the week no matter what your signing on day is. If I go down tomorrow to post office will I be able to collect it?

Thanks!

i think providing you haven't collected it the previous friday, i.e. you can collect fridays money the following tuesday but not the thuesday or thursday before hand.

Collecting your payment and your signing days are different things and are not linked.

For payment, your payment is usually kept at the post office for two days after the due date, not before!!! (although this varies with different payments, so check it out with your local post office/social welfare office before you rely on this) and can be collected within this period, although if you miss it, then your payment will be stopped.

For signing, this is usually every four weeks, and you have to sign on the day in question (although if you miss it and appear the next day you can usually get it sorted).
