Christmas Benefit Payments When Will You Get Paid?

CHRISTMAS BENEFIT PAYMENTS - The DWP have said: "If a payment date is on a bank holiday or weekend, customers will be paid on the last working day before the bank holiday or weekend."

This year, things are different in that Monday December 28 is a bank holiday in lieu of Boxing Day, which will fall on a Saturday and therefore not count as a public holiday.
