DWP May bank holiday payment date changes confirmed
There are two bank holidays coming up in May - so if you're due a benefit payment on one of these dates, you will likely be paid earlier than normal Thousands of people who claim benefits may find their payment date could change next month. This is because there are two bank holidays coming up in May. This can impact people claiming benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HMRC, such as Universal Credit and Child Benefit. The first bank holiday is on Monday, May 5. If you would normally be due a benefit payment on this date, then you will be paid on Friday, May 2 instead. The DWP and HMRC do not pay benefit payments on bank holidays - they normally arrive on the previous working day. The second bank holiday is on Monday, May 26 - so if you're due a benefit payment on this date, your money should arrive on Friday, May 23 instead. The amount you're paid will be exactly the same, and it will be paid into your regular bank account as normal. The only difference is, you will need to make your money last longer, as you'll have a bigger wait until your next benefit payment. If you were expecting your benefit and it hasn't arrived, contact the DWP helpline on 0800 328 5644. Keep in mind this helpline is closed on bank holiday days, but you will be able to get in touch the previous working day, or the day after the bank holiday. When are benefits normally paid? Attendance Allowance - Usually every four weeks Carer's Allowance - Weekly in advance or every four weeks Child Benefit - Usually every four weeks Disability Living Allowance - Usually every four weeks Employment and Support Allowance - Usually every two weeks Income Support - Usually every two weeks Jobseeker's Allowance - Usually every two weeks Pension Credit - Usually every four weeks Personal Independence Payment - Usually every four weeks State Pension - Usually every four weeks Tax credits - Every four weeks or weekly Universal Credit - Every month Bank holidays in England and Wales Wednesday, January 1 - New Year's Day Friday, April 18 - Good Friday Monday, April 21 - Easter Monday Monday, May 5 - Early May bank holiday Monday, May 26 - Spring bank holiday Monday, August 25 - Summer bank holiday Thursday, December 25 - Christmas Day Friday, December 26 - Boxing Day Bank holidays in Scotland Wednesday, January 1 - New Year's Day Thursday, January 2 - January 2 Friday, April 18 - Good Friday Monday, May 5 - Early May bank holiday Monday, May 26 - Spring bank holiday Monday, August 4 - Summer bank holiday Monday, December 1 - St Andrew's Day Thursday, December 25 - Christmas Day Friday, December 26 - Boxing Day Bank holidays in Northern Ireland Wednesday, January 1 - New Year's Day Monday, March 17 - St Patrick's Day Friday, April 18 - Good Friday Monday, April 21 - Easter Monday Monday, May 5 - Early May bank holiday Monday, May 26 - Spring bank holiday Monday, July 14 - Battle of the Boyne (Orangemen's Day) Monday, August 25 - Summer bank holiday Thursday, December 25 - Christmas Day Friday, December 26 - Boxing Day

Woman who sold drugs and spent 12 years in jail turns life around
More than 100 people flocked to Bridgegate on a cold Good Friday to take part in a special service organised by Churches Together in Irvine. The Good Friday Open Air Service attracted people of all faiths from across North Ayrshire. Thor Norman from the Emmanuel Christian Centre gave an opening prayer, followed by the Lord's Prayer. We also heard a moving testimony from Candice Gorman of the Recovery Community. In an emotional address she told how she had previously been involved in taking and selling drugs and served 12 years in prison. However she reformed and faith in God helped turn her life around after she had ditched her 'bad choices'. Father Mark Kelly of St Mary's and St John Ogilvie RC Churches then presented a focus on the Easter message. The congregation joined in a host of songs: Light of the World, Blessed Be Your Name, In Christ Alone and I'm not Ashamed To Own My Own Lord (at the Cross, at the cross). Rev Neil Urquhart of United Church of Irvine helped organise the service. He said: 'We were grateful that the rain stayed away and for a large and enthusiastic crowd from Irvine churches, and passers by. All who heaped lead and share from the front showed a humble conviction and overflowing gratitude for all that Jesus went through and gave us new and renewed life. 'I always find it a very moving service and great preparation for Silent Saturday and the deep overflowing joy of Easter Sunday as we celebrate Jesus' victory over death and all that separates us from God.' Churches across the Irvine community held Easter Sunday services. Pictures by Rev Neil Urquhart. Don't miss the latest Ayrshire headlines – sign up to our free daily newsletter
