Claimants of Universal Credit, State Pension, ESA, JSA, Carers Allowance, Pension Credit, PIP and Attendance Allowance will all be affected by a payment date alteration in August.
Due to the August bank holiday, payments may be received on alternative dates. This year claimants could see their payment arriving as much as three days early as those who are due a payment on August 29 will receive the money on August 26, Lancs Live reports.
It comes after the Government confirmed the details for the impending winter £400 energy grant to help with bills. The Cost of Living payments have also started to be distributed, with a second payment confirmed for later in the year.
