Will Universal Credit be paid early because of the funeral?

[cheathimsilly]

Her late majesty the queen's funeral is Monday and it's a bank holiday.

Does that mean if your payment is due Monday, you'll get it Friday?

Who knows. Nobody has anytime to prepare for the bank holiday at all.

I mean thats what usually happens when it falls on a bank holiday. I guess we'll find out on Friday.

this is my first month claiming and it says I’ll find out how much I’m getting on Sunday 18th, any idea if this will show early because it’s a Sunday? I didn’t think anything HMRC related would operate on a Sunday 🙈

No, because it’s an automated calculation. Mine is done on the 20th for payment on the 24th- the payment date might vary, but the automatic statement is always out on the 20th

Yes. You will be paid on Friday.

Thanks for posting this! I was worried I had to survive on £2.50 till Monday but just checked after seeing your post and child benefit goes in tmrw instead. Lifesaver!
