The Department of Work and Pensions has announced that millions will receive benefits, including Universal Credit, early in February, here's when you'll be paid Many households across the UK are set to receive their benefits early this month. The change is due to February being a shorter month, with 29 days this year owing to the leap year, as opposed to the 30 or 31 days in other months. These are the benefits that are affected and when you should be paid instead.
Will I be paid anymore because there are 29 days instead of 28 in February? The DWP has said it will not be paying extra to cover the extra day this year. For Universal Credit, that's because the standard allowance stays the same no matter how many days there are in a month. Increase to benefits However, benefits are set to increase by 6.7% in April this year.
