With Post Offices closed on Monday, the Department of Social Welfare has made payments due on Monday, available for collection from today as Monday is a bank holiday.
Pensioners, jobseekers, widows and carers allowances’ who receive their payment on a Monday will all be able to pick up next week’s payment at Post Offices around the country, today.
Those who receive their payments directly to a bank account each Monday will also be paid today.
Recipients will have to wait until March 2017 for the increases passed in the recent Budget to kick in.
