Easter bank holiday benefit payment dates including Universal Credit and child benefit

Universal Credit, child benefit and tax credits are among the payments set to be affected by the upcoming Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

Payment dates for the millions of households receiving government support will change during this time. And now the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has revealed the key dates for your diary over the spring holiday.

The DWP, which manages the payments, said that if you are due to be paid on Friday April 15, you'll get your money a day early on Thursday April 14 instead. But if you are due to be paid on Monday April 18, you'll also be paid on Thursday April 14 - three days early.
