Payment changes later this month for people on State Pension, PIP or other benefits

Full list of DWP, HMRC and Social Security Scotland payments which might arrive early due to a bank holiday on May 25.

People due a State Pension or benefit payment near the end of this month will see the money arrive early because of an upcoming bank holiday. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Social Security Scotland have confirmed some scheduled payments due on Monday, May 25 will be made early, while the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is expected to follow a similar revised payment pattern.

This is because DWP offices and phone lines will be closed over the bank holiday and payments are typically made when all services are available, including webchat and Jobcentre Plus offices.

Payments including State Pension, Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Child Benefits, Adult Disability Payment (ADP) and Attendance Allowance due on Monday, May 25 will land in bank accounts on Friday, May 22.
