BENEFIT claimants have been warned by the government that payments could be delayed. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) announced people due payments today, September 21, could receive them…
People who were due to receive payments on Monday, September 19, were instead paid on September 16.This is standard procedure for the Department for Work and Pensions and sees benefit recipients receive payments earlier if their normal pay date falls on a Bank Holiday.If you've been left out of pocket by the payment delays, possibly through late payment fees, it might be worth contacting your bank in the first instance to see what they can do.
You can call the DWP's complaints line for free on 0800 3285 644 if you have a Universal Credit account or 0800 3289 344 if you don't.Alternatively, you can make a complaint using the online form.
