Double payments?

shellsuit

Does anybody know, with Christmas Day being on a Monday and me normally get my tax credits on this day, will we be getting a double payment on the 18th?

Ta muchly for any advice

I was wondering this too!
Hope someone can let us know.
Im sure they cant pay us late so at the very latest it would be sat 23rd but i get paid straight into bank think if you get it at po you can cash double on monday 18th.

Don't know, but would also like to know whether Child Benefit is paid a week earlier than usual as we normally get it on a Tuesday which is a bank holiday!

my dla is due on boxing day and when i rang they told me it would be in my bank on the 23 rd a saturday so surely this should be friday

perhaps we will all have to wait and see !!!

Other years when child benefit etc has been due on a bank holiday/ christmas day etc Im sure it gets paid into the bank on the last working day before the payment was due.

many years ago as I don't know if this applies now but if you were due a payment (via book) on a bank holiday monday you'd get double the week before, don't know why it should have changed just cos the way they pay you has, e,g, via bank.

We'll get it on the Friday before I presume - same as every other bank holiday

There's another thread floating about somewhere, you'll get it on the 22nd, same as child benefit and income support if received on xmas day or boxing day.
And if you are due money on new years day you'll get it on 29th

ctc pmts will be made early so xmas/boxing day pmts will arrive the week before (thurs/fri).
the same applies to new year day/2nd jan.
due to this there will be (what appears to be) a longer than normal gap in the following payments.
you must remember that your pay day (mon-sat) will be the same but due to hols, pmts will be made earlier)
