The United Kingdom Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced changes to payment dates for Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and other benefits over the Christmas and New Year period.
The adjustments are due to bank holidays and office closures during the festive season.
Universal Credit, usually paid monthly on the same date claimants first receive it, will be moved forward if the payment date falls on a weekend or bank holiday.
Similarly, other benefits, including PIP, Carer’s Allowance, and State Pension, which are paid weekly, fortnightly, or four-weekly, will also be affected by the holiday schedule.
The DWP confirmed that all payments due between December 25 and January 2 will be processed earlier than usual to ensure recipients are not left waiting.
However, the early payments may require careful budgeting as the funds will need to last longer until the next scheduled payment.
Tribune Online presents the updated payment details below:
The DWP urges all claimants to take note of the adjusted dates and plan accordingly to manage their finances over the festive period.
