Full list of benefits set to be affected by a bank holiday next month.<\/p>\n

The bank holiday on Monday, August 25 is not a recognised public holiday in Scotland, however, it will affect most benefit payment dates. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Social Security Scotland<\/a> have already confirmed changes to scheduled payments due on that date with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) expected to follow a similar revision.<\/p>\n

People due State Pension or benefits on August 25, including Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment <\/a>(PIP), Adult Disability Payment (ADP), Child Benefit and Attendance Allowance, will receive the money earlier, on Friday August 22.<\/p>\n

Payments are typically issued on the first working day ahead of a bank holiday to ensure people get their payment on a day when offices, webchat services and phone lines are open. DWP<\/a> is also expected to confirm Jbcentres across Great Britain will be closed on the bank holiday.<\/p>\n
