Full list of the DWP benefits and pensions changes due this month
August 25, 2025, is a bank holiday where payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) won't be made. If you are due to receive a DWP benefit payment on either day, you may find you receive it early.
If your payment is due on a different day, it will arrive in your account as normal and the amount you are due to be paid will remain the same.
When a payment date falls on a weekend or a bank holiday, then the Department for Work and Pensions says the claimant is generally paid on the working day before, but this can vary.
Most payments due on Monday, August 25, 2025, will instead be made early, with most arriving on Friday, August 22.
These are the benefits that may be affected by the bank holiday weekend:
Attendance Allowance
Carer's Allowance
Child Benefit
Disability Living Allowance
Employment and Support Allowance
Income Support
Jobseeker's Allowance
Pension Credit
Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
State pension
Tax Credits
Universal Credit
While you may be paid earlier in some cases, the money will also have to last you longer, as payment dates will return to normal afterwards.
Recommended reading:
DWP urgent changes after £60 taken from claimants' benefits
31 restaurants, cafes and pubs where kids eat free or for £1 this summer
DWP state pensions underpaid by £800 million - check your payments
The DWP confirmed the early payment policy on its official website, stating: 'If your payment date is on a weekend or a bank holiday, you'll usually be paid on the working day before.'
While the amount being paid out will stay the same, experts are warning that the earlier date could throw off people's budgeting, especially as the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite.
The two remaining bank holidays for 2025 fall on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Bank of England set to cut rate as UK economy weakens
The Bank of England is widely expected to cut its key interest rate Thursday, with policymakers mindful of US tariffs and their potential risks to an already-struggling UK economy. With the BoE likely to trim borrowing costs by a quarter point to 4.0 percent, focus will be on potential changes to the central bank's economic growth and inflation outlooks. "There are clear signs of (UK) economic deterioration, particularly stemming from the labour market," Victoria Scholar, head of investment at Interactive Investor, noted ahead of the latest rate call. "Yet policymakers must weigh this up against the risk of inflationary pressures particularly with rising food prices and international uncertainty around (US President Donald) Trump's tariffs and volatility in energy markets." Against this backdrop, analysts expect splits within the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee. Some argue that while the majority of the nine policymakers, including governor Andrew Bailey, will vote for a quarter-point cut, some are likely to demand an even larger reduction and others no change. A quarter-point cut Thursday would be the BoE's fifth such reduction since starting a trimming cycle in August 2024, emphasising its "gradual" approach to reducing rates. The BoE's main task is to keep Britain's annual inflation rate at 2.0 percent but the latest official data showed it had jumped unexpectedly to an 18-month high in June. The Consumer Prices Index increased to 3.6 percent as motor fuel and food prices stayed high. - Weak economy - Latest official figures also show that Britain's economy unexpectedly contracted for a second month running in May and UK unemployment is at a near four-year high of 4.7 percent. This is largely down to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government increasing a UK business tax from April, the same month that the country became subject to Trump's 10-percent baseline tariff on most goods. London and Washington reached an agreement in May to cut levies of more than 10 percent imposed by Trump on certain UK-made items imported by the United States, notably vehicles. Last month, the BoE warned in a report that tariff unpredictability and Middle East conflicts pose risks to UK financial stability. The US Federal Reserve last week kept interest rates unchanged, defying strong political pressure from Trump to slash borrowing costs in a bid to boost the world's biggest economy. Asked about US tariffs following the decision, Fed Chair Jerome Powell told a press conference: "We're still a ways away from seeing where things settle down." The European Central Bank is meanwhile widely expected to keep rates unchanged at its next meeting, with eurozone inflation around the ECB's two-percent target. But that could change, according to some economists, based on how Trump's tariffs affect the single-currency bloc. bcp/ajb/rl/tc Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Ex-Man Utd coach reveals extra incentive for Liverpool to sign Newcastle star Alexander Isak
Liverpool target striker Isak Newcastle holding firm Reds can win "treble" with striker Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Ever since Isak informed Newcastle that he wanted to leave the club, Liverpool have been actively trying to sign the Sweden international. Amid this transfer saga, ex-United coach Meulensteen believes the Reds will be a force to be reckoned with if they can snap up the services of the 25-year-old this summer. He also explained where the Red Devils have gone wrong in recent times, in stark contrast to their Merseyside rivals. WHAT MEULENSTEEN SAID He told Poker Strategy: "If Liverpool manage to get the Alexander Isak deal over the line, I think they'd be looking at winning the treble next season; that's how powerful they'll be. I'd be shocked if Liverpool weren't there or thereabouts next season in terms of the league title. It just goes to show the difference between Liverpool and Man United. Years ago, a clear philosophy of what Liverpool wanted to achieve was installed and Jurgen Klopp firmly planted the seeds of how he wanted the team to play – high intensity and high octane football. The most decisive factor in Liverpool's success is that they've recruited the perfect manager to succeed Klopp. That's exactly where Man United have gone wrong – on several occasions. Arne Slot has built on everything Klopp left to him, with some slight tweaks here and there. Slot has brought in some great players and the club have been very efficient in the transfer window so far. That's everything Man United have done badly in the last decade." THE BIGGER PICTURE Isak is said to be valued at up to £150 million ($200m) by Newcastle, a figure Liverpool may not be willing to reach. The Reds won the Premier League title at a canter last season and if they had the former Real Sociedad man at their disposal, another treble tilt could be within their grasp. WHAT NEXT? Time is running out for Liverpool to sign Isak, and Newcastle to find a possible replacement, as there are just over three weeks left of the summer transfer window. Time will tell if a deal can be thrashed out in the coming weeks.
