Hello my universal credit payment date is 28th December, however this fallskn Saturday so I would normally receive this the day before (Friday 27th). Will I receive my UC payment on Friday 27th or will this be paid Tuesday 24th instead? Any Information will be a great help. I'm based in England.

    Hey @Brandon1503 and welcome to the community.

    As far as I'm aware, you'll receive your payment on the 27th, as it's not a public holiday.

    Hi,

    Friday 27th isn't a bank holiday, so I would expect the payment to arrive on that day.

    I understand but online it keeps saying payments due 25, 26 and 27th will be paid early. I'm just very confused and have no idea..

    I looked for someone else a few days ago and cannot locate any official guidance, only various media articles which actually contradict each other.
