Hi, I am not surprised you are ill with all you have to cope with. I can't help with those dates but I am sure somebody who can will be along soon.
Look after you.

Payments due on 25th, 26th or 27th Dec will be in on the 24th

Some benefits due on the 24th are being advanced to the 23rd but I can't confirm which ones until monday

Payments due 1st or 2nd Jan will be in on the 31st Dec

Have you considered using the supermarkets online shopping? May help during this extra busy period in the shops.

Really helpful post so I thought I'd bump it up. My dad was asking me when he'd get his pension because it's due on Boxing Day.

Strange if you go to the govern tax credit benefit payments.

Its say payment will not be early apart from the 25th,26th which will be paid on the 24th. That is the northern Ireland, but they are usually all the same no matter where in the UK.

So is it the 23rd??????
