PIP payment dates Christmas 2014

Hi
My PIP is due to hit my bank on 29th December, does anyone know if this will go in early as banks will be shut the on previous two days so BACS payments will not be processed. Wondered if it would go in on 24th. Thanks

    The DWP have currently appealed this on the basis that doubt has been raised about the date of Jesus birthday.
    They have suspended christmas payments until they hear back from God.

    This is what i found

    1. When are Christmas payments made?
    If your payment is due 25th, 26th and 29th December 2014 you will get it on 24th December 2014.
    2. When are New Year payments made?
    If your payment is due 30th December 2014 you will get your payment on 29 December 2014
    England, Scotland and Wales only (payment as usual in Northern Ireland)
    If your payment is due 1 2nd and 5th January 2015 you will get your payment on 31 December 2014 (in Scotland payments due on 5th January will be paid as normal.
