All the DWP pension changes to payments for May 2025
- The Department for Work and Pensions updated Child Benefit payments for May 2025, affecting about seven million UK families with children.
- This update follows the 2017 policy limiting additional benefits for families with more than two children born after April 6, 2017, mainly applying to low-income claimants on Universal Credit and Tax Credits.
- Weekly Child Benefit rates rose by 1.7% from April 2025 to £26.05 for the first child and £17.25 for each additional child, and payments for May 5 and 26 will arrive early due to bank holidays.
- Around 13 million children currently receive Child Benefit, a universal payment, although media often confuse this with the 'two-child benefit cap' limiting extra benefits past two children.
- These changes suggest continued enforcement of the two-child limit for low-income families, with payment timing adjusted for holidays and minor annual rate increases reflecting policy stability.
