I get Income Support every week. Meant to be a Monday, but in the bank on Saturday. Will xmas/new year effect me? My partners Carers allowance is also paid same day this be ok?

Is monday the 28th a bank holiday as boxing day falls on a saturday? If so then you will probably get the payment for that week just before Xmas.

If they are due on the 28th you will get it on the 24th.

As I mentioned before and confirmed below, 2008 did pay a day earlier. The info was published late 22nd Dec 2008!!!

If you get benefits or a State Pension and are due payment over Christmas or New Year (between 24 December 2008 and 1 January 2009) you will get your money in advance as all payments to the public are made early.

Benefit and State Pension date changes


Below are the date changes to benefits and State Pension:

• payments due on Wednesday 24, Thursday 25, and Friday 26 December 2008 will be paid on Tuesday 23 December 2008
• payments due on Thursday 1 January 2009 will be paid on Wednesday 31 December 2008
