DWP confirms change to Universal Credit payment date due to Jubilee Bank Holiday

People who are expecting to receive benefits payments over the upcoming Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend have been warned they will get their money on a different day than usual. The country is set to celebrate the 'once in a lifetime' platinum Jubilee with a bumper four-day Bank Holiday weekend.

As reported by Lincolnshire Live, this will result in anyone who normally gets paid their benefits on Thursday, June 2 and Friday, June 3 may see their payments arrive sooner next month. This is because benefits like Universal Credit are not usually paid on Bank Holidays or weekends.

If your payment dates fall on a normal working date either side of The Queen's Jubilee weekend, there will be no changes for you. However, if your payments are scheduled to arrive on a Bank Holiday date, you can expect your payments to appear slightly earlier than usual.
