Households receiving state allowances are advised that payment dates will vary next week due to the last public holiday.
Family allowances, family allowances, state pension, income support and other payments that are normally settled on August 31 should be aware that the money may appear in bank accounts a little earlier.
The annual holiday falls on Monday August 31 – meaning all DWP payments due on that day will instead arrive on Friday August 28, reports Mirror Online.
The change covers all those who receive the carer’s allowance and applicants who usually receive their universal credit allowance on Mondays. It also affects the payment of family allowances.
Family allowances were first introduced in the 1970s to help working parents cover their living expenses. Today he pays around £ 20.70 per week for the first child and £ 13.70 per week for subsequent children.
However, if an applicant or their partner has an income of more than £ 50,000 per year, they are liable for the High Income Child Benefit. This means that one percent of every £ 100 earned will be refunded to the government at the end of the tax year. Learn more about how it works, here.
Tax credits are completely segregated and given to those who need them most. This includes families who need help looking after children, workers with disabilities, and people with low incomes.
There are two types of tax credit: the child tax credit and the labor tax credit. You may be eligible for one or both, depending on your situation.
