Reasons your Universal Credit may be cut by DWP<\/p>\n

People due a State Pension or benefit payment on the upcoming Spring bank holiday will see the money arrive earlier than expected next week. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Social Security Scotland<\/a> have all confirmed some scheduled payments due on Monday, May 25 will be issued early, before that date.<\/p>\n

This is because DWP<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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