Some changes have been made to benefits payments for the upcoming bank holidays.
May will see three bank holidays which are set to fall on May 1 for May Day, May 8 for the King's Coronation and May 29 for Spring. As a result, people are being urged to take note of any changes for scheduled payments including State Pension, Universal Credit and Carer’s Allowance.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed scheduled payments which are due on the May Day bank holiday next Monday will land in bank accounts this Friday, April 28. Payments from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) such as Child Benefit and Tax Credits will also arrive early, DWP confirmed.
