HMRC confirms Child Benefit payments will arrive early this Friday
Parents expecting Child Benefit on the August bank holiday will receive their money early this week, as payments due on Monday are brought forward.
TL;DR
- Child Benefit payments due on Monday, August 31 will be paid on Friday, August 28.
- This early payment is because banks are closed on bank holidays.
- Other benefits like Universal Credit, State Pension, PIP, Attendance Allowance, Carer's Allowance, and Disability Living Allowance will also be paid early.
- Households do not need to take any action to receive the earlier payment.
- Payments will return to their normal schedule after the bank holiday weekend.
