First ESA payment after IB transfer was created by bittersweet
I received my last IB payment 2 weeks ago today, so I was expecting my first ESA payment today but no money was put in to my account. Due to my health problems I'm unable to phone the DWP myself to enquire about this.
Doesn't state on the decision letter when first payment is due, just says I will get ESA from the 7th Sept which was 2 days after last IB payment, so I'm assuming this means my first ESA payment will be 2 weeks after the 7th which is Weds.
Somebody will be able to phone up for me in a few days but just wondered what others experiences of this are.
Thanks.

ESA I think, is paid 2 weeks in arears so you should expect to be paid on the 21st.

Best wishes,
Rachel

Hi bittersweet,
I was transferred to esa on 8th august, my first payment of esa was due on 22nd august,
this did not arrive in my bank.
I rang Jobcentreplus the same morning, the lady i spoke to said some of the transfer papers had not been completed, but she would ensure that it was done straight away, and would make a same day payment into my account.
When i checked later in the day the money had reached my account.
I have had no problems since.
Give them a call as soon as you can
Good Luck.

Thanks to both of you, hopefully somebody will be able to call on my behalf on Weds if I've not received it.
