Thanks for the info. I would have checked on the 21st and 22nd anyway. And on the 28th! I suspected as much as there would have been all hell to pay if their computers had gone down on Christmas Eve. Nice to have that confirmed though. I assume you have inside knowledge here. How do I give you a massive star rating for your post?

Benefit and pension payments over Christmas
14 December 2007
Over the Christmas holiday period some of our customers may be due to receive their payments on a national public holiday, when most banks are closed. To avoid a delay, those people will receive their payments before Christmas instead.
State Pension (when not combined with Pension Credit), Widow’s Benefit, Incapacity Benefit, Bereavement Benefit, Jobseeker’s Allowance
If you are due to receive your payment between Monday 24 December (Christmas Eve) and Wednesday 26 December (Boxing Day) we will make your payment on Friday 21 December.
Pension Credit on its own, Pension Credit combined with State Pension, Income Support, Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance
If you are due to receive your payment on Tuesday 25 December (Christmas Day) or Wednesday 26 December (Boxing Day) we will make your payment on Monday 24 December (Christmas Eve).
If you are affected by this you will be able to collect your payments in the usual way (for example, from the Post Office or from your bank account) on these days.
All payments due on 1 January will be available on Monday 31 December.
Customers in Scotland who are due to receive payment on 2 January, we will make your payment available on Monday 31 December.
