New DWP May 2024 payment dates for Universal Credit, PIP and ESA

Benefit payments from the Department for Work and Pensions will change this month for many claimants.

People who receive Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payments , Employment and Support Allowance and other regular financial support from DWP usually see the cash land in their accounts on a regular basis and know exactly when the money should arrive. However, sometimes payment dates have to move. This is because the DWP does not issue payments on bank holidays, and there are a few of these falling next month.
