UK: Did any pensioners get this weeks pension last week?

I normally collect a pension for a pensioner on Mondays, she believed it would be paid into her account last Friday, but it hadn't been paid in then. The post office lady asked when it was usually paid, I replied Monday, she told me it would be available Monday "$th December. But no post office in this area was open.

It is not a problem, just wondering if any pensioners got paid for this week, last week.

Update:

Must have held shift button down "$ should have been 24th December.

    Post Offices were open half day on 24th december. Also all pensions are direct credits so you can draw money anywhere, not just the Post Office.. Al;so if you use a Bank current account for your income and finances, not just a Post office account, which is a waste of time, you can get a debit card, to withdraw money anywhere, or shop without cash if you wish.

    Mine comes in once a month on the dot never early,never late, just not enough of it to last until the next one comes in, a common problem I believe.
