In light of the upcoming Easter bank holidays on April 18 and April 21, beneficiaries of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) should prepare for potential changes to their payment schedules. Payments due on these holidays may be disbursed earlier, requiring recipients to budget for a longer period until their next payment. The recent increase to the new State Pension amount may also push many pensioners into the taxable income bracket, affecting their financial situation starting in the 2025-26 tax year.
Both Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays, and DWP payments due on these days may arrive earlier, but will also require budgeting for a longer duration.
As of April 6, 2025, the new state pension has risen to £11,973, narrowly approaching the £12,570 tax-free threshold, potentially affecting many pensioners' tax situations.
