This change means those on the full new State Pension will now receive \u00a3230.25 per week, totalling \u00a3921 every four weeks. The full basic State Pension has also risen to \u00a3176.45 per week, or \u00a3705.80 monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/finance\/personalfinance\/2040271\/dwp-state-pensioners-Easter-code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Express<\/a><\/em>, more than 12 million pensioners are set to benefit from the annual rise. However, with the Easter bank holidays affecting payment schedules, some pensioners will receive their April payment earlier than usual\u2014specifically on Thursday, April 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Will Be Paid Early and Why<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The early payment applies to pensioners whose usual payment day would fall on either <strong>Good Friday (April 18)<\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/easter-supermarket-closures-reduced-hours\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"107557\">Easter <\/a>Monday (April 21). Instead of being paid late or on a non-working day, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will make these payments <strong>in advance<\/strong> to avoid delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re affected depends on the <strong>last two digits<\/strong> of your <strong>National Insurance number<\/strong>, which determine your regular payment day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>00 to 19 \u2013 paid on Monday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20 to 39 \u2013 paid on Tuesday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40 to 59 \u2013 paid on Wednesday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>60 to 79 \u2013 paid on Thursday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>80 to 99 \u2013 paid on Friday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your NI number ends in <strong>00 to 19 or 80 to 99<\/strong>, and your pension would normally arrive on <strong>Monday or Friday<\/strong>, you can expect your next payment on <strong>Thursday, April 17<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Action Needed by Recipients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The DWP has reassured pensioners that <strong>no action is required<\/strong>. Payments will be <strong>automatically deposited<\/strong> into recipients\u2019 usual bank, building society, or credit union accounts. The department clarified:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBenefits are usually paid straight into your bank, building society or credit union account. If your payment date is on a weekend or a bank holiday you\u2019ll usually be paid on the working day before.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This adjustment ensures pensioners have access to their money ahead of the long Easter weekend without interruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pensioners across the UK are set to receive \u00a3921 early this month\u2014if they have the right two-digit code on their National Insurance number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107717"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107720,"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107717\/revisions\/107720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.econostrum.info\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
