The next bank holiday - Monday, August 28 - will effectively be treated as a weekend
The upcoming bank holiday is likely to lead to changes for claimants receiving the likes of Universal Credit and PIP. Monday, August 28, is the last public holiday before Christmas Day, and will be treated effectively as a weekend.
HMRC announced changes to payment dates earlier this month and DWP confirmed similar arrangements in a recent issue of the Touchbase newsletter. The DWP says: "Benefits are usually paid straight into your bank, building society or credit union account. If your payment date is on a weekend or a bank holiday you’ll usually be paid on the working day before. This may be different for tax credits and Child Benefit."HMRC said: “On Monday 28 August offices and phone lines are closed.
If you cannot open or manage a bank, building society or credit union account, you need to contact the office that pays your benefit to find out how to get it paid. If you receive Universal Credit, call the Universal Credit helpline.
