DWP benefit claimants to be paid early this week - including Tax Credits, PIP and UC

The government have confirmed benefit claimants will receive payments earlier than expected this week.

This is due to Monday, September 19, being declared a Bank Holiday by the new King, Charles III. It comes as Queen Elizabeth's funeral will take place following her death on September 8.

Those expecting to receive benefits and credits on Monday, September 19 will be paid early. Instead, benefits and credits will be paid on Friday, September 16, the last working day before the bank holiday.
