Universal Credit claimants urged to check payslips now ahead of May bank holiday change
Universal Credit provides important support to individuals not only who are out of work, but also those who are on a low income. As a result, a wide range of people will be claiming Universal Credit from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The payment can help individuals to manage their finances, and it is often the case many claimants will budget around receiving the benefit.
In this sense, it will be important for certain Universal Credit claimants to check their payslip, as the May bank holiday approaches.
This year, the early May bank holiday falls on Monday, May 3, 2021 – where some people will be given the day off due to business closures.
However, this often means employers can pay staff early if the payday falls on the day of the bank holiday.
In the past, this has impacted Universal Credit payments for some in a very specific way.
