The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have adjusted payment schedules for the May bank holiday. Payments due on Monday, May 25 will be made early on Friday, May 22.
HMRC confirmed the change for Child Benefits and other payments. The DWP is expected to follow the same pattern for State Pension, Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and Attendance Allowance.
DWP offices and telephone lines will be closed on the bank holiday, leading to the early payments. Payments not scheduled for May 25 will be issued as normal.
