Some payments are being made earlier
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced changes to Christmas and New Year benefit payments. Benefits including Universal Credit, child benefits and disability costs will be different during the festive period, with some people's money arriving earlier than expected.
Because Christmas Day fell on a Sunday with Boxing Day on a Monday the Christmas Day bank holiday was changed to Tuesday, December 27. This meant changes to payment dates for some claimants over Christmas and the same will be the case over new year.READ MORE: Man arrested in Nottingham after fatal stabbing at London flat
Payments over Christmas and New Year Which benefits are affected over new year and how often will you receive them? How your benefits are paid You’ll be asked for bank, building society or credit union account details when you claim. You can only get paid in a different way if you have problems opening or managing an account.
If you cannot open or manage a bank, building society or credit union account, contact the office that pays your benefit to find out how to get it paid.
