  Lol, you might be just paranoid.
  If the payment is not there on Monday, give them a call, sometimes payments may take longer to be cleared through banks.
  
  As far as I know they wouldn't suspend payments without inform you and giving you a reason for it.

  Thanks chrita, I'm more than paranoid, I'm also thinking that it will affect my carers allowance and I wont get that on Monday either! It was paid late once before but then I;ve noticed they adjust the payment dates on the system to make it look like they've always paid it in on time. But I don't think its gone so long. But yes I must stop worrying.

  give it a few days as its always possible somethings gone wrong at the councils end so its a day or 2 late but for housing associations i'd imagine the council would of rang and warned them so they won't start sending out the nasty letters just yet
  
  and the reason they adjust the date is that the payments will cover from x to y dates but probably will be a few days behind but the HA will use the from/to dates on the payment file

  Housing benefit is paid by the council and carers allowance is from central gov so they are not connected at all.
  They wont stop iether without telling you so stop worrying and enjoy the weather.

  Thanks for all your lovely replies, I bet you think I'm stupid! i'm actually lying in my living room in central London with two fans blasting cold air on me - I just cant bear weather this hot.

  Hey
  
  Legally they have to write to you if they suspend your payments. Probably best to call on Monday to put your mind at ease.
