If you're on Universal Credit and the like then you'll probably be no stranger to what happens when your payment date falls around a Bank Holiday. And, this year, us Brits have seen some extra dates popped into the calendar to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen - but when's the next one?
The next Bank Holiday in England and Wales is the summer Bank Holiday which falls this year on August 29 - after that there are just two more holidays (Boxing Day and a substitute Christmas Day which falls on December 27). With payments made every week, or every four weeks, it's worth noting down some key dates for your diary.
The next payment is due (at time of writing) on August 1 but is, in fact, likely to arrive on July 29. Here's a list of all dates for the remainder of the year...
