People expecting to receive benefits and credits on Monday, 19 September, will be paid early.

Benefits and credits will be paid on Friday, 16 September, the last working day before the bank holiday.

The Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue and Customs have put arrangements in place to ensure all benefits and credits due to be paid on this date — now a bank holiday for her majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral — will be delivered in advance.

People who are due to receive payments on Monday, 19 September, will instead be paid on Friday, 16 September, the last working day before the state funeral.

This arrangement follows standard DWP and HMRC protocol that sees benefit and credit payment dates brought forward in line with national bank holidays.
