🎉 Heads up, folks! Big changes are on the way for thousands of benefits payments this Easter! 🌷✨
Easter Sunday lands on 5th April this year, and it’s set to shake up payment dates for many. If you rely on state pensions or other benefits, take note! ✍️
**What’s the deal?**
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has confirmed its child benefit payments are getting an early bird treatment, arriving on Thursday, 2nd April instead of Monday, 6th April. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is expected to roll out similar early payments due to the bank holidays. 🏦💰
**Who’s impacted?**
If your benefits usually land on the 3rd or 6th of April—such as Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), state pension, and more—expect them on 2nd April instead! 🌟
✋ Why the change?
DWP offices and services close over bank holidays, so they’re ensuring you get your money sooner. This early payment could mean you have to budget carefully to make it last until the next regular payment. 🧐📊
**Good to know:**
Payments due on days outside the bank holidays shouldn’t be affected and will arrive as usual.
