New DWP update for people expecting money to land in bank accounts

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update to people expecting to receive cash in the next few days.

The government department issued a tweet as benefit claimants await various payments. It comes as a new month begins on Monday, and with May comes three bank holidays.

Usually, there is an early May bank holiday, which this year falls on May 1, and a later one, which takes place on May 29 in 2023.

And due to the upcoming King's coronation, there'll be an additional bank holiday on Monday, May 8.

On Friday, DWP tweeted: "Information for claimants already receiving payments:

"If you are due to be paid on 1 May you will be paid today, 28 April. Please contact us straight away if there is a problem with your payment". More information can be found here

Similarly, if you are expecting a payment date on Monday, May 8, this will instead be paid on Friday, May 5.

The DWP is also currently delivering Cost of Living payments to millions of low-income households. In an update it said the next of these will be paid from Tuesday, May 2.
