Knowing the exact payment dates is important for claimants to plan their finances effectively. In this article, we provide a clear, simple overview of the DWP payment schedule for June 2025, covering Universal Credit, State Pension, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and other key benefits.
What Payments Does the DWP Make?
The DWP is responsible for paying a wide range of benefits and pensions in the UK. Some of the main payments include:

Each of these payments follows a different schedule, and the payment dates often depend on your individual payment day or the type of benefit you receive.
Universal Credit June 2025 Payment Dates
Universal Credit (UC) payments are made once a month, usually on the same date each month based on when you first claimed. This date is your “assessment period end date.”
- UC payments for June 2025 will be made on various dates throughout the month depending on your personal assessment period.
- Typically, payments are issued between the 1st and 7th of the month, but you should check your specific payment date through your online UC account or app.
For example, if your assessment period ends on the 15th of each month, your June payment will be made around the 15th or a few days after.
State Pension Payment Dates for June 2025
State Pension payments are generally made on specific days depending on the method of payment:
- Most pensioners receive their payment on the 7th, 14th, 21st, or 28th of the month.

If these dates fall on a weekend or bank holiday, the payment is typically made on the preceding working day.
