Claimants of Universal Credit, State Pension, ESA, JSA, Carers Allowance, Pension Credit, PIP and Attendance Allowance will see changes to their benefit payments this month.
Those who claim the payments will be aware that bank holidays can sometimes change when they are made. They tend to arrive early to ensure those claiming benefits are not left short. This might seem like a good thing, but it does mean you will need to make the payment stretch longer.
Since the bank holiday will fall on Monday August 29, some claimants may receive their payments as early as the week before. Claimants will see their payments arriving up to three days early. So if you are due to be paid on August 29 you will actually get the money in your account on August 26, reported LancsLive.
