I claimed jsa and was due to be paid for the first time today but no money has been paid into my account, i called them and was told that there is no reason on my account to tell them why i had not been paid but the money had not been released, took my phone number and told me someone will call me in "3 working hours".
Has anyone else experienced this ? What do you think my chances of being paid today are because i am mega skint

If you get a phone call from them then you are lucky, they have never returned any of my phone calls.
Are you sure you were supposed to be paid today? When did you sign on?
I signed on wednesday and even asked the person, when will i be paid, and he told me on monday. I had a feeling in my waters i wouldnt be paid today for some reason and i was proved right
Its just very annoying as i have the dentist today and even though my filling which im getting is free, the hygienist i have to pay for.
Also it is not uncommon for the first payment to be a little late, my first payment was supposed to go in on a Wednesday but never went in until the Thursday, I was on the phone to them and they couldn't explain why it was late but they did say that can happen some times.
If you don't have a phone call by lunch time call them back.
on the phone i ask her about the bank details and she said that doesnt matter because it says on the system the funds have not even been released to my account
Lets just hope they call me back, not holding my breath though.
Well they must have a reason for not releasing it.
Hope you get paid soon though, and if you get a call back from them then that will be a shock.
If they dont' phone you back within 3 hours then they get in trouble. My husband works there and hes always moaning about the 3 hour limit thing because sometimes you're just too busy.
This recently happened to my flatmate, who had been made redundant. The follow-up phonecall he was promised never happened, so he phoned back on the Tuesday morning. They told him the money would be released, but it was the Monday after before it was finally paid into his account. The very same thing happened on his next sign-on, so basically for a month his payments were one week late.
There was never any explanation, as far as I am aware.
If you apply for a crisis loan to tide you over while your JSA arrives, do not tell them you need money for the hygienist, as dental services is classed as a "need not covered by a crisis loan."
so a bit of a pain but at least i get paid
