Universal Credit payment dates over Christmas

Universal Credit payments over the Christmas period have been causing a lot of confusion.  UC is paid on the same date each month, but if your payment date falls on a weekend or a bank holiday then you will receive it earlier.

*some banks make Monday credits available on Saturdays. 
​That is down to your bank, not Universal Credit.
These are the official dates, as released by DWP.  We are aware that some online articles have published incorrect dates.

Your payment will not be made to you if your statement is not showing. 

You can check your statement is showing after your assessment period has ended. 

​If there are less than 2 working days until your payment and you cannot see your statement then call Universal Credit on 08003285644.
