Full list of DWP, HMRC and Social Security Scotland payments which may land early in bank accounts next week.<\/p>\n

Easter falls on Sunday, April 20 this year which means some State Pension<\/a> and benefit payments due to be made on Good Friday or bank holiday Monday may be affected.<\/p>\n

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Social Security Scotland <\/a>have already confirmed some scheduled payments due on those days will be made early, while the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is expected to follow a similar revised payment pattern.<\/p>\n

This is because DWP <\/a>offices and phone lines will be closed over the bank holidays and payments are typically made when all services are available, including webchat and Jobcentre Plus offices.<\/p>\n
