Although this is a great opportunity to relax and unwind or even get away for a few days, it also means many businesses and services will also be shut down for longer than usual.

Universal credit payments are usually paid in on a monthly basis.
Payments on all other days will remain unaffected and will arrive in accounts as normal.
