Casual Jobseeker's Allowance

I'm currently working part time and claiming JA from Social welfare. Just wondering if anyone knows how frequent the cheques hsould be for someone handing in dockets every week and working 3 days per week?
I have handed in all dockets but I get heques on random days and am still owed another weeks pay. I though initially it was going to be on a set day every week that they were sent out but that doesn't appear to be the case.

As I said they come randomly but this week nothing has arrived. I have been in to the office every week for the past 6 weeks due to lack of payments, every time they apologised and told me the matter would be cleared up without explaining much.
Anyway id anyone here is on the same system could they tell me if they get the cheques regularly and if it's always the same day?

Thanks

Cheques usually issue on a Friday night so should arrive in post on Tuesdays.

Because of the Christmas period, cheques were not issuing on their usual Friday. A cheque issued on 15th December, then a double week issued on 19th December, and the next one did not issue until 6th January.
But normally they issue every Friday, and it depends on your post on when you receive it - normally this is the following Tuesday.
