DLA payment Easter 2013

fedup.com_2

Hi does anyone know what the payment dates are for DLA over Easter, I'm due payment on Tuesday 2nd.
I assumed payment would be made as normal but just rang helpline regarding something else and there is a message saying that payments due over the Easter period will be in banks before Good Friday.
Yet when I asked adviser she said payments are as usual. Are everybody pay day on the same day ie a Tuesday or does DLA pay on Mondays too.

Thank you

Tuesday not bank holiday so you will get as normal they also pay attendance allowance and some people get there dla paid with another benefit ie state pension which are paid different days

They only change the payment day when it is a monday bank holoday payment or for Christmas. So it will be normal Tuesday.

Thank you for your replies.
Yes I did think it stays the same ie Tuesday but the automated message says differently

Thank you

No, the message says that payments due over the Easter period will change. By this they mean Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Your payment is due after the Easter period so will be unaffected.

My DLA is also on a Tuesday & sometimes when the Monday is a bank holiday it goes in on Saturday morning before, probably because of banks closing the 2 days means it could be late otherwise. I have no idea if that will be the case this week
