Easter Bank Holiday benefits payment date: When all payments will be made
THE upcoming Easter Bank Holiday means benefit payment dates will change for some recipients. Here's when all of the Easter benefit payments will be made in full.
Universal Credit: Expert discusses benefits of claiming
Benefit claimants, including those on Universal Credit, Tax Credits, Child Benefit and more, usually receive their payments on a set date, either monthly or weekly - but these dates can change if a bank holiday falls on the original payment date. Not everyone’s payment dates will change - only those who are due to be paid on a bank holiday will get their money on a different day.
When a bank holiday occurs, payment dates are always brought forwards - never backwards - meaning you will be paid earlier than expected if the change applies to you.
The Government guidance states: "After the first payment, you’ll be paid on the same date of every month.
"If your payment date is on a weekend, you’ll be paid on the working day before.
"Call the helpline straight away if your payment does not arrive on time."
