Universal Credit and benefits being paid early today - are you affected?

Universal Credit and other benefit payments are being paid early today for some claimants due to the New Year bank holiday.

There is a replacement bank holiday this Monday (January 2) to mark New Year’s Day, which falls on a Sunday.

If you would normally receive a benefit payment this Monday, then you should have been paid today (Friday, December 30) instead.
