Knowing when money will drop into bank accounts is essential especially with the cost of living crisis and additional expense of Christmas. Here are Christmas and New Year payment dates in detail for claimants. Some payments will be made earlier if they’re due between 25 December 2023 and 2 January 2024.
Government offices and phone lines will also be closed on certain dates over the holiday period – so make sure you know when payments should be made so that if you do have a query you can call while phone lines are staffed.
