The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update on people awaiting Universal Credit and other benefit payments.
Last week, the DWP confirmed that payments due on Monday, September 19 would instead be paid on Friday, September 16. It has now advised that payments due on Tuesday, 20 and Wednesday 21 will be made as normal, however, the money may not go in at the usual paying in time, but it will be paid at some point during the day.
DWP said: “People due payments and credits on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 September will also be paid as normal, but throughout the day of their expected payment date. There is no need to call us to check, as payments will be made. We advise people to check their accounts later in the day.”
