In recent months people who claim Universal Credit and any other benefits or pension from the DWP have seen their payment dates move.
This has been due to a number of bank holidays in April and May. DWP benefits and pension payments usually land in bank, building society or credit union accounts, on a regular basis such as once a month, every four weeks, or fortnightly, depending which benefit(s) you claim.
Payments cannot be paid on bank holidays, so those whose regular payment dates have fallen on these will have received their cash earlier.
