Both Good Friday, April 18 and Easter Monday, April 21, are bank holidays where payments of the Department of Labor and Pensions (DWP) are made.
If you should receive a DWP benefits payment on each day, you can discover that you receive your payment on a different day.
While it is possible to be paid before in some cases, the money will also have to last longer, since the payment dates will return to normal after the holiday of Easter.
If your payment must defeat on Good Friday, you are likely to receive payment on Thursday, April 17.
The same is true for those who expect a Passover payment.
If your guest house is due on a different day, you will reach your account in a normal account and the amount you must pay will continue to be the same.
These are the benefits that can be affected by the Easter festive weekend:
- Assistance assignment
- Caregiver assignment
- Children’s benefit
- Disability subsidy
- EMPLOYMENT AND SUPPORT SUBSIDY
- Income support
- Jobseeker assignment
- Pension credit
- PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE PAYMENT (PIP)
- State pension
- Fiscal credits
- Universal Credit
Increased state pension and pension credit
Pensioners should see the increase in their pensions and state pension credit, and thousands of people will have to pay taxes on their state pension.
Since last week (April 6, 2025, to be precise), the new complete state pension has increased to £ 11,973, exceeding dangerously close to the tax free of taxes of £ 12,570 and expelling many of their personal assignment.
It is estimated that 650,000 more pensions will cross the tax threshold in 2025-26, although the total amount will not be clear until the end of this fiscal year, that is April 5, 2026.
Some pensioners, in particular widows and widows, partly those of the Armed Forces personnel, receive an additional state pension, and this may give them to have to pay the income tax of their relatively modest pensions.
Here the system for widows and widows that receive part of the state pension of their deceased partners is explained here.
Freezing in personal assignment, known as fiscal drag, is the subject of a request to Parliament that Alan David Frost began, and has now had 250,000 signatures, and you can still add more here.

The petition says: “Raise the personal assignment of the Income Tax of £ 12570 to £ 20000. We believe that this would help the winners to obtain the benefits and allow pensioners a decent income.
“We believe that fiscal pensioners in their state pension are abhorrent when it comes to personal assignment.
“We also believe that raising personal assignment would make many benefits of benefits and inject more effective in the economy creating growth.”
