Child Benefit and Tax Credits due over Easter will also be paid early.
Easter falls on Sunday, March 31 this year which means some State Pension and benefit payments due to be made on Good Friday or bank holiday Monday may be affected. HM Revenue and Customs and Social Security Scotland have already confirmed some scheduled payments due on those days will be made early, while the Department for Work and Pensions is expected to follow a similar revised payment pattern.
Payments including State Pension, Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment , Child Benefits, Tax Credits and Adult Disability Payment due on Friday, March 29 or Monday, April 1 will arrive in bank accounts on Thursday, March 28. It’s important to be aware that if your upcoming payment does not fall on either of the bank holidays it will be paid as normal.
If your benefit or payment is not listed, it will not be affected by the Easter bank holiday weekend.
