July dates for DWP payments, benefits, and pensions

In recent months, people expecting benefits or DWP payments have had their payments delayed due to bank holidays.

Knowing when you’ll receive payments and how much you can expect is important for household budgeting.

Therefore, many households are sure to be wondering when they can expect to receive money this month, and how much they will get.

Find out below the benefit payment dates for July.

The Disability Cost of Living Payment, worth £150, is expected to be paid between June 20 and July 4, 2023. If you do not receive the payment but are expecting to, contact DWP from July 5 onwards.

You may be eligible for this payment if you receive the following benefits:

  • Attendance Allowance
