Answer 5

Yeah I got early money, I just accepted it though and didn't bother to find out why, as for the Irish holidays - confused!!

Answer 6

there are 4 processing centres in the UK, claims are divided amongst them, if a bank holiday is held in the local centre that 'owns' your case then you get paid early. Claims can be sent to any of the processing sites and not necessarily your nearest one. your claim must have been processed and store in Northern Ireland

Answer 7

Mine went in yesterday, normally goes in today!!

Answer 8

Nope didnt get mine but mines not due to thursday so i dont think it has any effect on the irrish bank holiday!
