In recent months people who claim Universal Credit and any other benefits or pension from the DWP have seen their payment dates move.
This has been due to a number of bank holidays in April and May. DWP benefits and pension payments usually land in bank, building society or credit union accounts, on a regular basis such as once a month, every four weeks, or fortnightly, depending which benefit(s) you claim.
Payments cannot be paid on bank holidays, so those whose regular payment dates have fallen on these will have received their cash earlier.

Those who are budgeting will be pleased to know there are no bank holidays in July so any benefits or pension payments due should arrive on their usual date. The day your pension is paid depends on the last two digits of your National Insurance number, as follows:
00 to 19 (Monday)
20 to 39 (Tuesday)
40 to 59 (Wednesday)
60 to 79 (Thursday)
80 to 99 (Friday)
Many people will also receive another payment in July. The Disability Cost of Living Payment, worth £150, is expected to be paid between June 20 and July 4. If you do not receive the payment but are expecting to, you should contact DWP (from July 5 onwards).
