    Hey guys

    Last week I changed my jobseekers payment to the bank as its a pain in the arse to have to go from post office to bank to pay my bills.

    I had no payment in the Post Office this week and nothing in the bank. Does anybody know how long this change will take ? Will I get a payment or will it be doubled in two weeks time ?

    Have tried ringing the local office but the dont answer the phones

    As far as i know you can only get jobseekers into the bank during the pandemic, regularly its paid in to the post office as collecting it shows you are available for work and in the country.

    And they are still paid bi weekly atm anyway?

    Yes still paid bi-weekly. The changeover takes a few days and its paid into the bank on a Thursday. Hopefully I wont be on it for long.
