The Daily Record reports that in the latest Touchbase newsletter, the DWP revealed that offices and phone lines will be closed during the bank holidays.
This means that anyone due to be paid the State Pension or other benefits on those dates will receive their money early on June 1.
The DWP said: “On Thursday 2 and Friday 3 June offices and phone lines are closed.
“To make sure people receive their payments on a day when our offices are open, arrangements have been made to make some payments early.
“If the expected payment date is Thursday 2 or Friday 3 June benefits will be paid early on Wednesday 1 June.”
