    Just a quick query

    Could you apply to get paid directly into your bank account if it was difficult to get to the post office frequently

    Many thanks

    No, Job seekers S/W payment are paid to post office because you have to produce your S/W card and ID. Fraud prevention measure.

    Thanks for the replies. What about the possibility of changing Post Office though?

    Two of my mates get paid into their bank
    But when they lost their job they went up to the social and produced some weekly bills to state they have direct debts and needed it to be produced into their bank every week
    Think they have to sign something every week tho il ask them later and get back to you

    You can change your post office at the social welfare office. And as far as I know the money is officially kept for three days in the post office.
    Though mine has been there from Wednesday to Monday and gets sent back on Tuesday and I then have to go to the welfare and explain I missed it because I was sick or something.

    I doubt they'll let you get it into the bank. The last I heard was a friend of mine about three years ago getting it into her bank. Far as I know you'll have to go to the post office.

    Had been getting it paid into the bank for a long time, was also in with various questions over a period of 2 yrs; no-one ever said anything until, unfortunately, one day a guy said he had to change it from bank to post office.

    Said it was standard policy to counter act those who fly in and out off the country once a month to sign.

    He would not listen to any discussion, said his hands were tied.
