For example, you’ll get paid Universal Credit on the same day each month, while Tax Credits are typically paid every four weeks or weekly.Ĭhild Benefit is usually every four weeks on a Monday or Tuesday. How often you get paid your benefit depends on what type of support you claim.

The amount you get will also remain the same and it will also be paid into the same account you normally receive your benefit payment.

If you're due to be paid on a different day, you won't need to do anything - the money will be paid into your account as normal.

If you're due a benefit payment on Monday, January 1, then you should be paid on Friday, December 29. If you live in England and Scotland and you're due a Tax Credit payment on Thursday, December 28, you'll be paid on Wednesday, December 27.
