UK Households Claiming One Benefit Will Be Paid £108.20 Early, States HMRC
Payments due on the two May bank holidays will move to the nearest working day, affecting pensions, Universal Credit and Child Benefit, officials said.
- The Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue and Customs confirmed that benefit payments scheduled for the May 4 and May 25 bank holidays will arrive early to ensure claimants maintain access to funds.
- Because banks close during the May Day Bank Holiday on May 4 and the Spring Bank Holiday on May 25, government departments bring forward scheduled deposits to ensure consistent access to support.
- Payments due on Monday, May 4, will arrive on Friday, May 1, while those expected on Monday, May 25, will deposit on Friday, May 22.
- "Knowing when payments will arrive helps households manage their budgets, especially around busy bank holiday weekends," a DWP spokesperson said, noting the agency moves payments forward to ensure timely receipt.
- These changes apply to recipients of the DWP Pension, Universal Credit, Jobseeker's Allowance, and HMRC Child Benefit; claimants should check their bank first if a payment seems late, then contact the relevant department.
