The Independent actively covers crucial issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and financial investigations. Donations support sending journalists to report on developing stories. The outlet emphasizes the importance of factual reporting without paywalls, allowing access for all. In the UK, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will issue early benefit and pension payments due to the August bank holiday, affecting 24 million recipients. Payments for benefits like universal credit and child benefit will be disbursed a day early to prevent delays caused by the holiday closures.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.
This means anyone expecting one of these to be paid will receive their funds several days earlier than usual. The DWP says it has adopted the policy to ensure that recipients' payments are not affected by banks and government offices closing for the bank holiday weekend.
