The Daily Record also reports Child Benefit and Tax Credits - both paid by HMRC - will also arrive early before the bank holiday on Monday, May 1.
The Jobcentre Plus opening times are different for the bank holidays on May 1 and the King’s Coronation on May 8, the DWP also confirmed. On both Mondays, offices and phone lines will be closed, this means that payments due on May 8 will also be made early, on Friday, May 5, 2023.
