DWP Confirms Attendance Allowance Shake-up for New Claimants This Summer
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 21 – DWP will pay benefits early before August 2025 bank holidays in Scotland and the rest of the UK, affecting over 24 million claimants, to avoid delays caused by holiday dates.
- Most payments scheduled for Monday August 25 2025 will arrive early on Friday August 22 in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the DWP said.
- The Department for Work and Pensions is adjusting pension dates due to differing bank holidays, with Scotland receiving payments on Friday 1 August instead of Monday 4 August and England, Wales, and Northern Ireland on Friday 23 August instead of Monday 25 August.
- The DWP Minister is piloting an online Attendance Allowance claim process, and said it is designing a transformed application that is shorter and easier.
- Missing out on up to £5,740 a year, many older Britons still don't claim Attendance Allowance, Martin Lewis warned last week, emphasising significant unclaimed benefits.
- Set to report by March 2029, the State Pension Age Review began on Monday 21 July, with a future deadline of March 2029.
