If you receive universal credit or other kinds of benefits then your payment date might change over the Jubilee weekend.

The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed the changes to payment dates during the bank holiday long weekend this year.

And for some people it could be good news – with payments arriving earlier than expected.
