DWP Payments May

DWP Payments May Shift Due to Bank Holiday — Check The Dates

The DWP will issue payments early on Friday, 23 May 2025, ahead of the Spring Bank Holiday on Monday, 26 May 2025. This affects a wide range of benefits and pensions including Universal Credit and State Pension. Payments will arrive sooner to avoid delays. No action is needed, but beneficiaries should verify their payment dates and know how to get help if issues arise.
