Universal Credit claimants and people on other Department for Work and Pensions benefits may see their payments arrive early next week through the up coming May Bank Holiday.
If you're due to be paid a benefit come a bank holiday, you usually get paid the previous working day, with a number of banks not processing payments on weekends and holidays.
The next bank holiday falls on May 1, and while being paid earlier may seem like a positive, it means that you have to make your money last longer through a slightly longer wait for your next payment.
