National Postal Dispute Benefit Payment AdviceCustomers whose benefit is paid directly in to their bank or Post Office card account are unaffected by the current national postal dispute and will continue to receive their payments as normal.
Special arrangements are being made for customers who would normally expect to receive their benefit payment by cheque through the post on or after Wednesday 1 August 2007 and until further notice to ensure that they receive their payment on time.
All such customers are advised that they should collect their cheque payment direct from the nearest Post Office to which they live. This may not necessarily be the Post Office they normally use. Anyone who is unsure of their nearest Post Office should telephone their local Jobs & Benefits/Social Security Office for further advice.
When customers collect their cheque from the Post Office, they should ensure they have proof of identity. The proof of identity customers use when they cash their cheque can be used when they collect it.
The Social Security Agency will issue further advice should there be any change in these arrangements.
