Bank holiday payments

mrf1

Due to her majesty's funeral on the 19th, anyone that gets any benefits due to be paid on that date, is it still normal or earlier, as there's nothing on the dwp website,? Thank you.

Will be Friday this week. Nothing will be showing yet as the Bank Holiday was only announced on Saturday when DWP don’t work as usual.

Usually payments are received on the last working day before a bank holiday. As this bank holiday has only recently been announced, i don't think there's been any confirmation on whether payment would be early. For payment to be Friday, they would need to change the date on when payments are sent. Whether they can acheive this, i really don't know.

Thank you for your kind reply, thats what I thought too. Only other thing is that everyone due Monday, gets paid Tues, because it would have gone in but not cleared, there will be loads of people, plus a lot of phone calls,. The system should be automated. ...

I suspect that payments won't be made early, as they are for planned bank holidays, but you never know.

Thank-you. For your kind reply. I'll ring them Friday, see what they say, money doesn't matter in a time like like this, it's very sad, me and my wife went to the town hall to sign book of condolence today, I do have mental health problems, I don't know if anyone I could have a chat with maybe tomorrow, it's just regarding mental health services as I feel very fobbed off. I'm alright.

The DWP have confirmed that any payments due on 19th September should be paid on 16th and that their offices and phone lines will be closed on Monday 19th September. Press release can be viewed on the Gov website.
