Those due to receive benefit payments over the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend have been told to expect their money on a different day.
A four-day weekend to celebrate the Queen's 70 years on the throne will be celebrated in early June, with bank holidays on Thursday, June 2 and Friday, June 3. However, while the long weekend will mean changes for millions of benefit claimants across the UK, Wales Online and GloucestershireLive reports.
Payments such as Universal Credit are not usually paid on bank holidays and weekends so benefit claimants who are expecting their cash on June 3 may find their payments arrive earlier than usual.
