Department for Work and Pensions (including Jobcentre Plus) arrangements are different over Easter in England, Scotland and Wales:
- On Friday 3 April offices and phone lines are closed
- On Monday 6 April offices and phone lines are closed
From Tuesday 7 April offices and phone lines are open as usual
To make sure people get their payment on a day when our offices are open, arrangements have been made to make some payments early.
If the expected payment date is Friday 3 April or Monday 6 April, then benefits will be on Thursday 2 April.
If the expected payment date is not shown, customers will get their money on their usual payment date.
