Warning issued ahead of social welfare payment changes

Social welfare recipients have been warned about the changes

Another bank holiday is just around the corner, and we cannot wait for it.

We're counting down the days to the extra day off, but the public has been warned about the upcoming long weekend.

Like all bank holiday weekends, banks and post offices will be closed on Monday, so some social welfare recipients will have their payment dates changed.

They have been warned that payments scheduled for Monday will instead be paid on alternative dates.

Luckily, people won't be waiting longer to receive their social welfare payments and will actually be paid earlier.

This means their payments will be made earlier due to the closures.

Those expecting social welfare payments on March 17th will instead be paid on March 14th or 15th.

Parents have been told that Child Benefit payments will be paid as usual.
