The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently confirmed in its Touchbase newsletter changes to some benefits and State Pension payment dates due to the upcoming bank holidays this week.
Thursday, June 2nd is a UK-wide Spring bank holiday and Friday, June 3rd has been declared a national holiday to allow everyone across the country to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
As a result, the DWP has announced that its offices and phone lines will be closed during that time which means anyone due to be paid certain benefits on those dates, will receive their money on Wednesday, June 1st.
