DWP May bank holiday payment date for Universal Credit, Child Benefit and Tax Credits

The DWP has confirmed the payment dates for benefits ahead of the May bank holiday.

Bank holidays can mean a change in the date a claimant is paid and people are being warned to be aware. The first May bank holiday is Monday, May 2. Coming just weeks after the Easter Bank Holiday, it means a three-day weekend for millions in the UK.

But for benefit claimants it could mean changes to when you receive your money this month. This often happens on bank holidays or other occasions when there is disruption to the regular working week.
