SOME CLAIMANTS WILL, HOWEVER, SEE CHANGES TO WHAT THEY GET 03:00, 01 Jun 2025 With June upon us you might be wondering if any bank holidays or other changes are going to impact your
benefits. After two long weekends in May, this month offers no similar change but also less interruption to Department for Work and Pension (DWP) payment dates.But some people will see
changes to what they get, as the new rates introduced by the government at the start of the financial year in April come into effect for benefits paid on a monthly basis such as universal
credit. This is because those whose monthly assessment period was before April 7 will have been paid in May on the old rate, rather than the new. _FOR MONEY-SAVING TIPS,__ SIGN UP TO OUR

date falls on a weekend or a bank holiday you are generally paid on the working day before.In Northern Ireland, benefit payments are administered by the Department for Communities in
Northern Ireland, and in the event of a bank holiday, payments are made on the last working day before a bank holiday.As there are no bank holidays in the UK in the month of June there
should be no changes to payment dates. WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR DWP BENEFIT PAYMENTS? Universal credit – every month; Attendance allowance – usually every four weeks; Carer’s allowance –
weekly in advance, or every four weeks; Article continues below Child benefit – usually every four weeks, weekly for single parents and some benefits claimants; Disability living allowance –
