Carers allowance early with BH in Scotland

We should get our Carers allowance on Monday but does anyone know that with it being a bank holiday in Scotland on Monday will it go in early or on its normal day?

    Scottish bank holidays aren't recognised by UK departments such as DWP. So therefore no payment will be issued early... Only UK bank holidays effect DWP payments.

    Scottish Bank Holidays are no longer recognised by the banks either they take the English Bank Holiday at the end of August.
    Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama ;)
