April 2025 DWP payment dates for benefits and pensions, in full ...Middle East

This year Easter Sunday is late in the calendar and will be marked on Sunday 20 April.

Although it does provide an extra long weekend for those working, it will have an impact on payment dates for those who claim state benefits or rely on the state pension.

This will include changes to eligibility for personal independence payment (PIP) and incapacity benefit.

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.
