As the cost of living continues to impact UK households, staying informed about benefit payment schedules is crucial.
This guide provides detailed information on the expected payment dates for various benefits in June 2025, including updates on the WASPI campaign.
DWP Payment Schedule for June 2025
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) oversees several benefits, including Universal Credit, State Pension, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
In June 2025, no bank holidays are scheduled, so payments are expected to be made on their usual dates.
| Benefit Type | Usual Payment Frequency | Expected Payment Date |
|---|---|---|
| Universal Credit | Monthly | As scheduled |
| State Pension | Every 4 weeks | As scheduled |
| Personal Independence Payment | Every 4 weeks | As scheduled |
| Disability Living Allowance | Every 4 weeks | As scheduled |
| Child Benefit | Every 4 weeks | As scheduled |
| ESA/Income Support | Every 2 weeks | As scheduled |
Payments are typically made directly into recipients’ bank accounts.
Housing Benefit and Universal Credit Housing Element
Housing Benefit is usually paid every two or four weeks, depending on individual circumstances. For those receiving the housing element of Universal Credit, it is included in the monthly payment.
Ensure that any changes in rent or tenancy agreements are reported promptly to avoid payment delays.
Child Benefit Payments in June 2025
Child Benefit is typically paid every four weeks on a Monday or Tuesday. For June 2025, payments are expected on the following dates:
- Monday, 2 June
- Monday, 30 June
It’s important to note that if your child turns 16, you must inform HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if they continue in full-time education or training to continue receiving payments.
WASPI Campaign Update
The Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign represents women born in the 1950s who were affected by changes to the State Pension age.
As of May 2025, the UK government has decided against providing financial compensation to these women, citing budgetary constraints and the belief that most were aware of the changes.
The decision has been met with criticism from various groups, and the campaign continues to advocate for fair compensation.
