Department for Work and Pensions (including Jobcentre Plus) bank holiday arrangements for 25 August 2025


The Department for Work and Pensions (including Jobcentre Plus) office opening arrangements are different for the 25 August bank holiday.

England, Scotland and Wales:

On Monday 25 August offices and phone lines are closed.
To make sure people get their payment on a day when our offices are open, arrangements have been made to make some payments early.
If the expected payment date is Monday 25 August then benefits will be paid early on Friday 22 August.
If the expected payment date is not shown, customers will get their money on their usual payment date.
