August bank holiday on Monday, August 25 means many benefits arrive early. Payments due on August 23–25 will instead be made on Friday 22 August. This applies to major benefits: Universal Credit, Child Benefit, state pension, PIP, carer’s and attendance allowance. The early payments are to ensure families do not suffer from financial disruption so they can plan for bills, groceries, and back-to-school costs. #StFrancisEmployability #Benefits #BankHoliday
