The dates for State Pension and other benefits payments for the holiday season have been confirmed.
Payment dates alter throughout the Christmas season due to bank and Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) office closures.
Millions of Brits will be paid earlier than normal this month, while others may have to wait until January for the next payment period.
Over 12.6 million individuals receive the State Pension, with 3.2 million receiving the New State Pension, which was implemented in April 2016.
If your payment is due on Monday, December 25, 26, or 27, it will be made on Friday, December 22.
There will be no change for anyone who had an expected payment date on Thursday, December 28 or Friday, December 29.
If your payment is due on January 1, it will be made on Friday, December 29.
Those anticipating payments on Tuesday, January 2nd will receive them on either Friday, December 29th or Tuesday, December 2nd.
With 1.4 million people claiming this top-up and the DWP seeking to promote take-up, those on a low retirement income may be able to earn a boost from Pension Credit.
State pension payments are never scheduled to arrive on weekends, though certain banks may credit accounts on Saturdays and Sundays.
As part of his Autumn Statement, Hunt announced an increase in Universal Credit.

With an 8.5% wage increase, this is set to rise to £221.17 per week in April.
