Some people will get their money early this week because of the August bank holiday
Some people on welfare benefits, including Universal Credit , PIP and state pension among others, will get their payments early this week.
Brits are looking forward to a long weekend as August draws to a close, but the summer bank holiday does mean some schedule changes. Many shops and businesses will close for the day, while bank payments may also be made on a different day than usual. The Department of Work and Pensions and HM Revenue & Customs will make early benefit payments on Friday, August 23, to anyone who was due a payment on August 26, which is the bank holiday Monday.The gov.uk website states: "If your payment date is on a weekend or a bank holiday, you’ll be paid on the working day before."
Monday, August 26, is only a bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - and not in Scotland. The DWP has also confirmed that Jobcentre Plus offices and DWP phone lines will be closed on Monday due the bank holiday.
