Universal Credit, State Pensions, Child Benefit, PIP and other benefits may be affected by changes due to the Easter bank holidays next week. Both Good Friday April 18 and Easter Monday, April 21, are bank holidays where payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) won't be made. If you are due to receive a DWP benefit payment on either day, you may find you receive your payment on a different day.

The same is true for those expecting a payment on Easter Monday. If your payment is due on a different day, it will arrive in your account as normal and the amount you are due to be paid will remain the same.
These are the benefits that may be affected by the Easter bank holiday weekend: While you may be paid earlier in some cases, the money will also have to last you longer, as payment dates will return to normal after the Easter bank holiday weekend.
