THE DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS PAYMENTS PEOPLE RECEIVE IN JUNE WILL RETURN TO NORMAL THIS MONTH, AS THE TWO BANK HOLIDAYS IN MAY ALTERED WHEN PEOPLE RECEIVED THEIR BENEFIT PAYMENTS
RYAN PATON SEO Writer 13:01, 02 Jun 2025 The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has notified that following the two bank holidays in May, which led to alterations in benefit payment
dates, payments are set to return to normal this month. The DWP had to adjust its schedule due to closures on Monday, May 26, causing anyone who typically receives benefits on this date to
experience changes. A statement released by the DWP clarified: "To make sure people get their payment on a day when our offices are open, arrangements have been made to make some
payments early." Specifically, the DWP noted that "If the expected payment date is Monday 26 May then benefits will be paid early on Friday 23 May. If the expected payment date is
not shown, customers will get their money on their usual payment date." WE HAVE A DEDICATED NEWSLETTER FOR CHRONICLELIVE’S MONEY-SAVING AND COST OF LIVING STORIES. IT’S FREE AND YOU CAN

of DWP offices on May 27, no further planned closures for June have been announced, meaning that benefit payments should align closely with individuals' original claim dates, reports
the Liverpool Echo. Adjustments to payment dates this month will only occur if the normal payment date coincides with a weekend; in such cases, benefits will be disbursed on the preceding
working day. FULL LIST OF DWP PAYMENTS YOU MAY BE EXPECTED TO RECEIVE THIS MONTH - Attendance Allowance Article continues below - Carer's Allowance - Employment Support Allowance -
