A DWP Universal Credit shake-up will see millions of people paid on a different date
Claimants of Department for Work and Pensions benefits are being notified about a significant change in Universal Credit payments due to the August Bank Holiday.
"Normally, benefit payments align with the operational days of DWP offices and phone lines. However, on bank holidays, payments are typically issued on the last working day before the holiday. "HMRC has already confirmed that Child Benefit and Tax Credits due on August 26 will be advanced to August 23, so DWP payments will likely follow the same schedule."
